I use the menu to install, but are unable to specify that I want to install from outside our network. The problem is that the option to use an FTP proxy without using passive FTP is unavailable. I have installed over NFS from a CDROM and that worked fine. Afterwards I set FTP_PROXY and unset PASSIVE_FTP (sorry if variable name is inaccurate, I'm trying to do another install now) and then fetch works like a charm. I also have problems setting the keyboard map. The script which does this on the boot floppies seems to be garbeled.
