If someone has a DHCP connection and is going to be installing via FTP, 
what's the easiest way to do this?  It seems to be a chicken and egg 
situation.  This is especially true if you have a connection on which your 
IP address changes with every connection.

The easiest solution I can think of is to first download the /bin 
directory to your box and install from that.  But then you need DHCP so 
you need to install that too.

Does this process get easier under 3.3?
