Hi.
Minor glitch during install of current snapshot on i386 laptop.
I pulled the install sets to a local FTP server, and did an FTP install
to the laptop from that server. On that server, the user account I was
using for FTP has a password that contains the 3-character sequence " & ".
This causes a failure "/install: syntax error; unexpected `then'" getting
the list of available install sets. Sorry to not give the line number in
install; it's gone from the console scrollback buffer, and I wasn't using
a serial console.
Easy enough to work around; I control that server, and changed that
account's password to something that did not contain spaces or ampersands.
Thanks,
Matt.
