60100 - implementation of custom ftp url has changed in config.ini

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(CCK Graveyard :: CCK-Wizard, defect, P3)

Description

[bmartin]

Latest N6 CCK build dated: 2000-11-14-14

O/S: all Win32

Steps:
1. Download and install latest CCK build
2. create a customized build with custom ftp:// URL (for custom config.ini)

Results:

The custom ftp:// URL gets added to the N6 installer's config.ini individual 
components... however, Sean Su has implemented handling of ftp:// URL for 
the stub installer to be global.

Since the installer download process has changed between Pr3 and rtm, the best 
way to fix this with the most minimal change is to do the following:

1) have CCK update the following in the config.ini:
     [General]
     url=[custom url goes here]

     [Redirect]
     Status=Disabled ;Set this to Disabled from Enabled.

2) in Config.ini, replace the entire [Site Selector] section with the following:
     [Site Selector]
     Identifier0=Site0
     Description0=Default
     Domain0=ftp://

This change will essentially give you the same effect as in PR3.  By changing 
the [Site Selector] section, it will only show one site (Default) to download 
from, but it really does nothing with it.  It's only there because it can't be 
removed altogether.

hope this explanation helps.
