That's not the case here:
anonymous ftp as such works for me.
In fact, Alexander's way works for me too:
entering 'anonymous' makes the installation proceed.
That leads me to speculate that just pressing [enter]
sends an empty string to the installer, which obviously
is not accepted as a ftp login, so the installer asks again.
I believe that previously, pressing [enter] did
give the suggested 'anonymouss' to the installer script.
