>Description:

[FDIV016]

During the installation process, if you select FTP downloads and the
transfer of a files for one reason or another, there is no way to recover
other than completely starting the install process over.

In my case, I was down to one of the last of the files that makes up
the bin distribution (although this could happen during any distribution)
and I the remote system apparently crashed.  I got:

	421 Service not available, remote server has close connection
	98304 bytes received in 8.4e+02 seconds (0.11 kbytes/sec)
	Continue with mget?

Of course you can't answer the question.  If you press CTRL-C, you get:

	User interrupted Aborting installation

and the system immediately reboots.  If you answer "n" the system takes
off and tries to extract with what it has (which should fail).


>How-To-Repeat:

Umm, ok, start an install, select FTP download, and during the transfers
unplug your network cable.  That ought to produce errors similar to the
problem I encountered.


>Fix:
	
There needs to be a way to restart an entire download if something goes
wrong without having to restart the entire installation process.
