Quick question before I duck out for lunch...

Both myself and Matthew Hudson are having problems with sysinst fetching
sets via ftp - me on our intranet FTP server and Matt directly from
ftp.netbsd.org.  For me it works from the command line, but not from
within sysinst:

Command line:
        # ftp -a ftp://ftp.cpr.telecom.com.au/pub/simonb/kern.tgz
        Connected to balrog.supp.cpr.itg.telecom.com.au.
	[[ connection details deleted ]]
        250 CWD command successful.
        local: kern.tgz remote: kern.tgz
        227 Entering Passive Mode (172,73,42,42,6,73)
        150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for 'kern.tgz' (811013 bytes).
