>Environment:

	Installation environment, with media type set to ftp.

>Description:

	On the screen where you must type in an ftp:// style url that points to
a FreeBSD distribution other than one of the ones listed, it isn't clear where
this url should point.  I.E. Should it point to the equivalent of /pub/FreeBSD/
or should it point to the equivalent of /pub/FreeBSD/2.0.5-RELEASE/ ??  Using
the equivalent of /pub/FreeBSD causes a "timeout" error.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Specify the toplevel FreeBSD distribution directory instead of
toplevel/2.0.5-RELEASE

>Fix:
	
	Documentation for the Other ftp site feature should be included on the
screen where it is typed in, so that it is clear where the url should point.
