I was doing an install. Since the security distribution isn't included on the cd, I ftp'ed it to a local system and after installing everything else from cdrom, I tried to use the install program to ftp over the security distribution. I usually turn prompting off and when I typed 'mget *' without remembering to turn prompting off, I did what I normall do in that situation: I hit ^C. The install script picked up on this and switched me back to primary virtual console. Ftp was still trying to get my keystrokes and so was the install program. A few moments of typing later, the system panic'ed. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: gpalmer State-Changed-When: Sat Sep 23 09:53:54 PDT 1995 State-Changed-Why: Fixed with the rewrite of sysinstall for 2.0.5R >Unformatted:
