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. Jan
