Thanks to some skillful negotiation by Olivier Thauvin, I now have access to be able to update and fix the installer tree on the mirrors. I've been waiting to get my DSL back to test this and just did an ftp install directly from a mirror. With my connection it's a bit slow, and I certainly wouldn't want to do it this way all the time, but it is now possible.
The only gotcha I hit is the tail end of the package install started having issues with packages that were from contribs. Looking at the mirror I was using, there was no symlink to RPMS2, so this makes sense that I saw these errors. the source repository in Paris does have the correct link. The benh-installer kernel changes mentioned in the previous message are being posted. I pulled the benh modules into the stage2 bz2 file, which ups the ramdisk requirements to 36000 now, rather than 34000. Thanks so much Olivier!
