can't install fedora 4 from a FTP server

[Chavez Gutierrez, Freddy]

I'm trying  to install Fedora 4 from a FTP Server which is on my internal
network.
I've downloaded the FC4 DVD ISO and burned into a disk. And it's fine
because I was able to use it to install on another computer without problems
(the check test at the beginning says the disc is ok).

I shared the DVD disk via an FTP Server (IIS on Win2003) with anonymous
access. I was able to install on computer A (a virtual machine on VMWare
ESX) booting from the "boot.iso" disk (/images/boot.iso on the DVD) and
accesing de DVD disk via FTP.

Then, in computer B (a real machine) I've tried to do the same thing. The
computer B get an IP address from the DHCP, connects to the FTP server, get
the netstg2.img image, ask me all the stuff (partioning, root password,
grub, RPMs to install, etc.) until it begins to download the RPMs and
installs it. But, after some minutes, and after several RPMs installed, it
just hangs up. It doesn't say nothing but freezes. I've tried several times
and always the same thing.

Two times it stopped at kernel-devel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.i686.rpm.
One time it stopped at gnome-python2-2.10.0-1.i386.rpm.

On other computer, just to see if the disk was corrupted or the FTP server
was broken, I was able to connect to the FTP server and download the two
files.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Freddy Chavez.
