Re: install from files on win98 machine

[Justin Krejci <krejci@attbi.com>]

If you are trying to use a windows 98 box to serve the files to the openbsd 
box to install and you are trying an FTP install, don't you think you should 
use a FTP SERVER on the windows box? Easier yet, use a ftp server that is 
publicly available on the internet; if i recall, there is even a ftp list to 
pick from during the installation which has always worked for me in the past. 
Or buy the CDs.
