2.2-BETA install floppy
>Description:
I left a 2.2-BETA install running when I went to work today.
When I got home, there was a dialog box saying that the FTP
of XF86bin had failed, do I want to try again?  I said yes,
went through the reselection, and it started again with XF86inf.
Now I have an installation with only a partially extracted
XF86bin.
>How-To-Repeat:
Kill the network during the FTP of XF86bin, then restore it when
sysinstall notices.  Reselect the same site, and watch it start
transferring the next distribution you selected instead of
restarting the failed transfer.
