I am continuing to test RC5.  The Flex SDK now installs properly.

A question about FlexJS installation:  As part of the installation, Apache
Flex SDK 4.11.0 is downloaded, but from
http://archive.apache.org/dist/flex/4.11.0/binaries/apache-flex-sdk-4.11.0-bin.zip.
I don't think this is a good idea.  It will put unnecessary load on the
Apache servers.  Cant we just load it from the mirrors like usual?

Thanks,
Om
