The "bootnet" method of installing took a big step backward with RH 6.1.
FTP install doesn't allow non-anonymous ftp anymore, for one thing.
Connection error messages are non-existent; it just flips back to the
previous screen.  Also, I always get that annoying "insert driver disk"
message.

They forgot some very basic user interface principles when they did this
one.
