i386, 1.4, sysinst

>Description:
	
If you select ftp as the method to get your sets for install,
and you select a local server with the sets, where the directory with
the sets is an absolute path, sysinst will drop the leading / when
it tries to cd to that dir, and fail.

>How-To-Repeat:
	
copy sets to /usr/sets/*.tgz on 'host' machine
run sysinst on new machine
select ftp for set retrieval
select 'host' machine as host
enter a user and password, for a user with a homedir in /home/something
enter /usr/sets for the directory
get

ftp will fail with 'usr/sets no such directory'

>Fix:
	
Fix sysinst to not drop leading /s.
