Re: Installing RedHat 6.1 over FTP server.

["Michael J. Rensing" <mrmail pp phys uvic ca>]

I've seen similar errors under the same conditions. What ftp server
are you using? I'm using wu-ftpd 2.6.1. Unfortunately, I've just
upgraded to it, and haven't been able to find a solution myself.

I just noticed the "My client hangs at the end of a transfer" item in
the wu-ftpd faq, and since I also get that kind of behaviour with the
server under RH6.0 installs, I thought I'd try to install a degraded
server which shouldn't hang at the end of a transfer. I'm also going
to get on to RedHat support, and see if they can help.
