>Description:

[FDIV003]


During installation, if you specify that you want to do your own FTP
commands and have specified more than one distribution (bin, src, etc),
FTP is invoked repeatedly to download each module separately.  You are
offered a chance to specify a directory other than /usr/tmp. I attempted
to specify /usr/src/tmp, so that the files would be placed on a
different partition with more space.  This failed with errors, including
	"no such file or directory".

Note:   This may be related to FDIV002, so investigate that problem first.

Either the install procedure failed to create the directory before trying
to use it, or it was created and then later accidentally deleted by the
install procedure.


>How-To-Repeat:

Perform an installation using the FTP-it-yourself procedure and specify
a directory other than the offered /usr/tmp.  Also request multiple
distributions.
