Description Charles A. Newcomer 2009-01-11 04:30:03 UTC 
FTP installation fails due to the fact that "packages/INDEX" cannot be found.
using CD or DVD iso files.

Fix: 

create a symlink in the ISOs from the "7.1-RELEASE" directory to the "packages" directory.

cd 7.1-RELEASE
ln -s ../packages packages
How-To-Repeat: try to do a network install, specifying ALL packages.
