	An interesting additional data point is that if I tell the ftp
client on Knoppix to use passive mode, then I can no longer do
transfers.  I can log in, change directory, but I can't, for example,
list the directory.  I get "no route to host".  Perhaps Fedora's
installer is using passive mode, and there is a firewall problem or a
vsftpd configuration problem on the server.

	Time for Bill to learn how passive mode works and maybe to drag
out ethereal.
