Hello, Another newbie question: I need to install FC2 via ftp or http but after several attempts I get the above message, and I notice the installation program adds a slash (/) before the end of the directory (for example ftp.unc.edu//pub/linux/fedora..../). I tried every obvious solution but no luck. I googled my problem and found several people with the same problem but no (good) solutions, or the web pages are in Polish or some other language I don't get. Could anyone please give me a hint? Thanks a lot.
