This would be good.

Fixed in the current patch release; putting the RPMs for it on
charon would be trivial. I can do it tonight if no one else wants to.
>> - make ftp and http installs work
It seems that doing this would involve either running an anonymous
ftp server and a web server on charon, or else commiting resources that
aren't really ours to commit (such as using web.mit.edu for
installation). I don't consider supporting ftp and http installs to be
a requirement for going live.

This last item should be documented in the PWOG as well, and I'm not
sure we need to document it ourselves. The last I heard, the PWOG was
being updated for Linux, but I don't think it's been released yet. Ask
aurora for more information.
