>Description:

Attempt to install via ppp via sysinstall fails with:

"Cannot resolve hostname `.1'!  Are you sure that your nameserver,
 gateway, and ..."

>How-To-Repeat:

Install via FTP

Specify hostname:	scratch
	domain:		shockwave.com
	gateway:	10.0.0.1
	nameserver:	10.0.0.1
	myaddr:		10.0.0.2
	netmask:	255.255.255.0

When prompted, reply to remote addr with 10.0.0.1, baudrate 115k.

start ppp, login to remote side, PPP link comes up, IPCP negotion
completes properly, show ip (inside ppp) shows good stuff.

Extra debugging reports:

DEBUG: hostname = `.1'
DEBUG: dir = '/'
DEBUG: port = 21

Hmmm...?
