Description of problem:
I boot the PCMCIA install floppy and do an FTP install but it doesn't use the 
netstg1.img file properly (or the file is incorrect).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Boot from install floppy (written 
using /pub/redhat/linux/beta/null/en/os/images/pcmcia.img
2.  Switch to driver disk when prompted.
3.  Specify FTP install
4.  Use server ftp.redhat.com
5.  Use directory /pub/redhat/linux/beta/null/en/os
6.  Installation will fail with "failed to read /modules/module-info"

Dupe of another (don't remember the id off hand).  Already fixed in our current
internal trees
Comment 2 Michael St. Laurent 2002-09-20 20:04:35 UTC 
OK but in the mean time is there some way I can perform a network install?
