	FTP

	If you do not wish to open up NFS for access to the installer you also can
	utilize FTP. This method works just like an FTP install from install floppies.
	We have already configured TFTP so FTP is as just a breeze.

	BUT by default on fbsd anonymous access is not allowed yet the installer
	wants to log in anonymously to do an ftp install. 

	Add a ftp user and anonymous users will be allowed.

	An option in the install.cfg gives you the ability to hardcode a user and
	password for ftp access. You may use this option but security doesnt improve.
	Since you have to hardcode the user/pw in a file any hacker could read that
	file and log in anyway. I find this option less useful than it seems but you
	might want to utilize it.
