anaconda ftp install

["Michael A. Peters" <mpeters mac com>]

Since I am going to be installing fc3 in lots of different  
configurations etc. for testing purposes, I set up an old iMac I had  
lying around with YDL and set it up as a ftp server for install and  
updates, figuring ftp install is the easiest way to do thing (no disk  
swapping)

Two attempts at install failed. First attempt failed at installing  
ImageMagick - so I tried again, wondering if maybe the ImageMagick rpm  
on the server was bad. Second install failed earlier, with the kernel  
(which had installed first go around)

It seems anaconda just gives up when it has downloaded a bad package.  
Now maybe the nic or something on that iMac isn't perfect, but there's  
a simple solution for remote installs - check the GPG sig of the  
package. If it fails grab it again. That way a clean package is there  
for install, even if it takes more than one fetch to get it.

Can this be added to Anaconda for FC4?
