Not quite at that stage
>Description:
I am trying to install 2.2-970222-GAMMA over a PPP line (via FTP). I pick
"URL not in list" when it asks what site I enter ftp://<IP Number>/path.

After getting the PPP connection up it brings up the message:

 Cant resolve "". Is your nameserver, gateway etc configured correctly?

The DNS is working but shouldn't even be needed as I entered an IP address.
It appears it is trying to resolve a null string or something.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install 2.2-970222-GAMMA via FTP over a PPP link over a modem and specify
an other URL that contains an IP address.
