Johan,

While I have never tried this, sysinstall appears to support entering
non-standard FTP URLs. After you choose the FTP option, you can choose the
FTP server. The second option in this list is 'URL', which allows you to
type in any FTP site -- and as I presume, the ftp-archive site will work
if entered here.
