Usually, though, when people talk about an ftp-install they mean that they have boot disks and they tell the installer that they booted from those disks that they want to do 'ftp' and let the installer do the ftp details. This makes me think you might have misunderstood something in such a way as to make things harder on yourself then they should be.
