>Description:
I tried to do an upgrade from 2.1.6R to 2.2-BETA. It asked me to save
the /etc. Accepted the default /usr/tmp/etc. As source for the upgrade
I used a FTP server and specified the url myself. Here I mistyped the
url a little bit and needed to try a different FTP server. This time it 
accepted it. Then it comes to step 2, it brings up the error message:
Unable to go to your saved /etc directory in Uereo3r34j34! Argh! ....
It looks much garbage as I can type it here ;-)
