>Organization:

>Environment:

	FreeBSD 3, 4, 5

>Description:

	/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.
