/usr/src/release/texts/(alpha|i386)/INSTALL.TXT
Chapter "1.1 Installing from a network CDROM"
It says,
first: mount CDROM to /cdrom
and add ftp:*:99:99::0:0:FTP:/cdrom:/sbin/nologin
then specify URL ftp://<machine with CDROM drive> in
ftp sites menu.
But, install program add "Release Name" (ex. 4.1-RELEASE) to
the end of the URL, so installer cannot find "Release Name"
directory, and install procedure is failed.
>How-To-Repeat:
following INSTALL.TXT
>Fix:
fix doc
or before FTP install, change Release Name to "."
(Main Manu -> Options -> Release Name)
or create symbolic link "Release Name" -> . at the CDROM root.
Thank you.
