I have tried to use the FTP installer to upgrade from RH6.0
to RH6.1.  I can get to the point where I am downloading
packages, but it always hangs trying to install the same
package: e2fsprogs-1.15-3.i386.rpm
The python installer will hang for approx 10 minutes and
then report an error which appears to be an FTP error.  I
have tried to independently rpm -Uvh
ftp://ftp.ou.edu/mirrors/linux/redhat/redhat-6.1/i386/RedHat
/RPMS/e2fsprogs-1.15-3.i386.rpm
This works fine.  I have reviewed the other install bugs and
I have verified that I do not have an NTFS partition on the
drive.  I see 20+ packages installed and 55MB downloaded
before this bug occurs.  It's really frustrating because the
install starts over from scratch each time rather than
starting from where it left off.

System:
RH6.0 on Intel Celeron 400
NE2K Ethernet
256MB RAM
HD with 3 partitions: Linux Swap, Linux, FAT32 (0x0B)

Any help appreciated.
