Packages are not available via ftp.

This has been an ongoing problem since the 10.0-RELEASE cycle, and persisted
through 10.1-RELEASE.

I do not expect this to be resolved anytime soon, and certainly not before
10.2-RELEASE.  Instructions on using the on-disc packages for installation were
included in the 10.1-RELEASE announcement email, and will be included in the
10.2-RELEASE email as well.
