I'm having trouble getting CentOS 4.5 to install via FTP.
I have a local FTP server with a mirror of 4/os/i386. I boot from the first CentOS 4.5 CD and enter 'linux askmethod'. I choose the FTP installation method and DHCP for the IP configuration. At the FTP Setup screen I enter the IP address of my server and the path of the i386 directory.
Your FTP server needs the entire 'CentOS' directory from Disc 1, and in the RPMS directory (under the CentOS directory that you just copied) you need all of the rpms from the remaining discs copied into that as well.
I didn't copy the CDs, I mirrored mirror.centos.org/4/os/i386. That contains everything required for an FTP installation, doesn't it?

The file CentOS/base/product.img indeed does not exist. If the installer is pointing to it, it might be a bug. Maybe file a bug report?
