>Description:
The 2.1.5-RELEASE boot floppy starts the installation program. When
selecting an FTP server that does not work, no ftp installation can be
done any more (i.e. selecting another ftp server has no effect, it won't
ftp).
We had this problem when ftp.nl.net turned out to be down. Selecting
ftp.nl.net, then another site would not work. Starting from the
beginning and selecting a working ftp server did work.
>How-To-Repeat:
Select an FTP server that is down, commit, wait for the timeout, select
another ftp server, commit.
>Fix:
Not known.
