>Description:
install kernel ftp enables epsv4 by default, which causes problems with
some firewalls.
>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to do an FTP install from behind a firewall which does not
allow incoming connections to your address. Note that when FTP enters
Extended Passive Mode, it is dead in the water after that.
>Fix:
exit sysinst and clean up /mnt mounts
cat >>.netrc
default
macdef init
epsv4 off
^D (preceded by a blank line)
re-run sysinst and find that it works now.
