Description of problem:
This is on RHEL4 Beta1 for ppc64. After setting up the ftp server, we
initiated the installation through non anonymous ftp. However, the
installer crashed.

The ftp server had a fedora core 2 installed and the server on which
the installation was intended is a p630 power4 box. 

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Setup a ftp server with the four iso images of RHEL4 beta1 for ppc64. 
2.Select 'ftp' as the source of the images in the installer screen and
specify the server name and directory where the images are stored.
3.Start the installation.
    

Actual Results:  The installer crashed.

Expected Results:  The installer should have started installing the images

Are you sure that your install tree isn't corrupted?  Are there any
error messages on tty4?
