>Description:
When using /stand/sysinstall, attempting to use the package installation tool (configure, then packages) via FTP, the index file cannot be found.

The program sends this to the ftp server:
CWD pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386
CWD 4.3-RELEASE
RETR packages/INDEX

The packages folder is a link to another folder, but it is pointing to a folder that does not exist, thus rendering the tool useless.
>How-To-Repeat:
Just try to use the packages tool in 4.3
>Fix:
fix the symbolic link
