Unable to install via FTP

[Richard Mayhew - Nashua Mobile Broadband Division]

Hi,

You might need to be a little more specific in what you are doing. I'm
gathering you are using a kickstart installation.
Could you perhaps paste your networking part of the kickstart config.

Are you using a normal boot CD or a Kickstart boot CD?

Thanks
Richard

Subject: Unable to install via FTP

I'm studying for the RHCT/E and have recently upgraded my testing server
from RHEL3 to RHEL4.  I have the Redhat directory copied to
/var/ftp/pub.  If I log in to ftp remotely I am successful and an ls
lists pub.  If I change to pub I see Redhat.

I have it configured to use anonymous logins.

The problem arises when I attempt to perform an installation via FTP.
It used to be that if I couldn't establish a connection to the server it
would give me an error.  If it could connect but not find the necessary
installation image it would tell me.  However now, it doesn't say
anything.  It simply falls into an installation via CD asking me if I
want to test the installation media.

What am I missing?  Why is it not even bothering to connect to the FTP
server and instead using local media?

Mathew
