The ERRATA says to use the Index menu to get to the Distributions.
This does not work, I get a core dump when the ftp connection is made.
I also tried downloading the updated mfsroot image and booting from
diskette.
I get all the way to the ftp and it says my disk is full.
This looks like a permissions problem, since my disk is only 22% full.
I either need to do a reinstall with the new image or recompile
sysinstall.
Are there any instructions for recompiling sysinstall in /stand ?
