Why can't I continue with the ftp installation? And while im at it I would have just bought the cd-rom however walnut creek informed me that there is a newer version out that wont be on cd and available for them to ship for a few weeks So here I am trying to do an ftp install, spending hours flipping through the same install screens, getting nowhere but pissed off Can u help?
