"now" is on the next screen. Maybe this is obvious to others, but I tried 'G' right away. No result. (b) [Confusing] I would like to see the text above the custom URL setting for a FTP transfer advise that the URL shouldn't include the release directory (e.g. 2.2-BETA). Also, a pointer to the options screen to change the ftp user name and password if not using anonymous ftp would be nice. >How-To-Repeat: Install when you don't really know what you are doing! >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: >Received: from topaz.nemeton.com.au (topaz.nemeton.com.au [203.8.3.18]) by nemeton.com.au (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id VAA16511 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 21:48:03 +1100 (EST) Received: from topaz.nemeton.com.au (topaz.nemeton.com.au [203.8.3.18]) by nemeton.com.au (8.8.4/8.8.4) with ESMTP id VAA16511 for ; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 21:48:03 +1100 (EST) Received: (from giles@localhost) by topaz.nemeton.com.au (8.8.4/8.8.4) id VAA10225; Fri, 10 Jan 1997 21:48:09 +1100 (EST) Date: Fri, 10 Jan 1997 21:48:09 +1100 (EST) From: Giles Lean Message-Id: <199701101048.VAA10225@topaz.nemeton.com.au> To: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: minor nits on text in 2.2-BETA install Reply-To: giles@nemeton.com.au X-send-pr-version: 3.2 Content-Type: text
