FTP install of Development distribution working

[Jim Cornette]

I finally fixed the ftp installation for complete development rpms. It
seems that everything is working past the intird and LABEL issue.

The list of recently announced updates showed up in up2date and
installed without any issues.

This post was in reference to the previous distribution size issue.
excerpt below:

I just did an ftp install of Rawhide on this machine. I think that 
mkinitrd is one of the items that need to be corrected. The ftp install 
of devevelopment went through in about 4 hours time from the 
download.fedora.redhat.com site and using the 
/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/i386 directory to retrieve the 
information. This was a server installation and was a clean install. I 
haven't booted into it yet to see what it will do. The initrd error 
caused me a few detours. I installed lilo because I wrecked grub when 
trying to reinstall it on my drive. I have to configure lilo to boot the 
newly installed ftp retrieved installation.

On a detour, I installed the rawhide rpms on two different machines as 
an upgrade. I have found problems with kudzu, python related programs 
up2date and one or two documentation rpms. The program conflict count is 
only about 30 programs. Most of the other programs seem to work fine on 
both machines. If I get the ftp installation booting, I'll see the 
errors with that machine.

Some excerpts from the install log are included below:

Happy to have a mostly working rawhide distro.
