In fact, Alexander's way works for me too: entering 'anonymous' makes the installation proceed. That leads me to speculate that just pressing [enter] sends an empty string to the installer, which obviously is not accepted as a ftp login, so the installer asks again. I believe that previously, pressing [enter] did give the suggested 'anonymouss' to the installer script. Jan
Re: bsd.rd anonymous ftp login broken?
I'm looking into this. There seems to be a quoting issue, since the anonymous default should be in brackets, while now it seems to be part of the question instead. thx, Alexander On 07/11/12 21:55, Jan Stary wrote: Trying to reinstall with the current i386/bsd.rd.

Generaly, what does it mean if the 'ftp login' question gets repeated? That the FTP connection and/or FTP login failed? That's not the case here, as I have downloaded the bsd.rd from the very same anon FTP.

Re: bsd.rd anonymous ftp login broken?
Use http then? To get you out of trouble. Since other people dont have the problem, something fishy going on at your ISP? I was once with an ISP that had a transparent proxy for http. I noticed because it was serving dated content, and the IP address on my remote server logs were not my own. Maybe your ISP is transparent proxying ftp? My current ISP blocks a lot of ports by default. I needed to login and disable their firewall in my customer profile.
