Description jkuo 1999-08-19 04:50:02 UTC

Installing on a local area network with only socks access to the Internet.  Local machine also not equipped with a cdrom.  So, setup IIS4.0 on an NT machine to create a local FTP site using distribution cdrom.  Used Boot disks to start the install process and system installs perfectly from the local FTP site on the NT server.  However, when running sysinstall again to add any packages, config X, make any changes, ... etc, sysinstall will not connect again to the local FTP site.  Last message claims that it is getting package info from the INDEX, but has really not even accessed the FTP site (according to FTP perf monitoring).  Hangs in that state until suspended.

How-To-Repeat: Any re-run of sysinstall that needs access to the source FTP site will hang the sysinstall again.
