Description Need Real Name 2000-09-17 05:57:54 UTC
When installing pinstripe using netboot, the installer successfilly 
retrives the 2nd stage stuff over ftp. After doing so, a CWD / is issued. 
This then breaks the installation with an anaconda error, saying file not 
found. If the installer was to not issue the cwd command, it would be 
sucessfull. The actual cause reported to anaconda varies but is either 
permussion denied or file not found.

While workarounds to exist, they only ecime obvious to someone who looks 
at the commands senr to the ftp server.(if that is possible)
