I simply echo the export statements of the proxy environment variables to
/etc/rc.firstime before reboot. The installer will always append to the
file so fw_update will be added after the variables are exported.
The ftp process will timeout in, I think, 5 minutes. That is a long time,
but you're not going to be hung there forever.
