Hmm, I'll try to play with it in a less hostile environment. The obvious
workaround, to install just bindist and then go to the emergency shell
and do something like
ftp> get mydistro.aa "|tar --unlink -zxvf -"
works just fine, but I tried half a dozen variations using sysinstall
itself to retrieve the mydistro.aa named as bin.aa, and none worked. I
was at first chalking it up to PCMCIA networking issues, but it broke
under PPP as well, and the PCMCIA stuff worked fine when I did the above
workaround.
I've been doing this with no problems since 2.1.0R days, so it really
caught me off guard..
I think I'll be putting this same distro on one of my kickaround boxes,
and it'll be a lot easier to experiment since I won't have to remember a
string of things I gotta type at the -c prompt. :-)
