Subject: Manual FTP instructions for SNAP-950322 install?

I am trying to install SNAP-0322 from behind a firewall.  There is an ftp
gateway that will allow a normal FTP client to get outside -- you just need
to ftp to it on a special port, and specify "username@hostname" (i.e.
anonymous@ftp.freebsd.org) as your username.

I used the "other host" option to specify the firewall host and port,
but the directions weren't clear about what directory structure the install
wants.  Since I don't know how to create local subdirectories in the ftp
client, I am getting all the files into the root "install" directory.
However, that means that the CKSUMS and *.sh files will overwrite each
other, so I can only install one dist at a time.

Could we have some explicit instructions in the install script about how
to do the manual ftp, as well as letting the install script auto-make the
subdirectories if necessary?  It could put the instructions on the F2 screen
so that you could refer to them at any time while trying to do the manual
FTP.

Thanks,
  Bill
