You are offered a chance to specify a directory other than /usr/tmp. I attempted to specify /usr/src/tmp, so that the files would be placed on a different partition with more space. This failed with errors, including "no such file or directory". Note: This may be related to FDIV002, so investigate that problem first. Either the install procedure failed to create the directory before trying to use it, or it was created and then later accidentally deleted by the install procedure. >How-To-Repeat: Perform an installation using the FTP-it-yourself procedure and specify a directory other than the offered /usr/tmp. Also request multiple distributions. >Fix: *END* >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
