In attempting an FTP - based install, I know it can log in via ftp, from connecting to a local machine. However, no matter how I specify the URL, it refuses to find the distribution. Ok, I've made a mistake - I'll try one, many, all of the distribution sites that are listed and guess what? It has the same problem with them. As a matter of fact, the install program returns an error so quickly, that I doubt it ever tried to connect. As an aside, what is it about ATAPI that makes it *so* hard to install from CD-ROMs based on the standard? If DOS can do it (and Linux, and NetBSD and, well...), why can't we? M. -- "Excitement.
