Actually, I had read that.
I am installing from F9 CD number 1, and specifiying the askmethod
option.
I have created a fedora9 directory within /pub for vsftpd, and mounted
the DVD.iso on it.
Then I spelect the URL method, and when asked for a URL, point it at
the fedora9 directory.
The vsftpd.log file shows the machine accessing various files withihn
fedora9/images, the last one being stage2.img. But the installation
program says it is unable to retrieve stage2.image.
