>Description:
	If for some reason sysinst gets an error fetching the
	distribution set via ftp, it should not immediately proceed
	to clear the screen, thus making it impossible to read the
	error message and then correct the problem.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Give sysinst "invalid" input data in the ftp setup, and watch
	the error message vanish as sysinst clears the screen as the first
	action when ftp fails and returns control to sysinst.

>Fix:

This fix for /usr/src/distrib/utils/sysinst/ fixes this particular problem.
