>Description:
Installing via floppy disk the new 4.3 release. Use Netgear modem router (V90 + 4 10M/bit ports). When downloading from ftp.uk.freebsd.org after 2 hours my ISP hangs up the line. The install program then hangs (can ping it still from another PC (WIN 2k)). Have to reboot PC and find that not enough was downloaded.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install via floppy/FTP and then disconnect the phone line.
>Fix:
Get the FTP download to actually check if it is downloading !!!

State-Changed-Why:  
This should be fixed now - timeout code was added which will go off 
on a dropped connection and the user can re-initialize the network 
and try again.  Alternately, it's also now possible to ^C the operation 
without totally nuking sysinstall.
