5.3 Installing via FTP

You should now be looking at the ``FTP Setup'' dialog box. Here's where you point the installation program at the FTP site of your choice (see Figure 39). Enter the name or IP address of the FTP site you are installing from, and the name of the directory there which contains the RedHat directory for your architecture. For example, if the FTP site contains the directory
/pub/mirrors/redhat/i386/RedHat, enter /pub/mirrors/redhat/i386. If you are not using anonymous FTP, or if you need to use a proxy FTP server (if you're behind a firewall, for example), check the check box, and another dialog box will request the FTP account and proxy information.

If everything has been specified properly, you should see a message box indicating that
base/hdlist is being retrieved.
