I am not sure - this is a system message that says that our ftp site
cannot be located by your computer.  Perhaps this means that the
people who manage your computer systems have forbidden the use of
"rsync" to most sites (it is a somewhat dangerous tool but I promise
that our site is safe).  To do a binary installation, you will need to
be able to run rsync and to do the MNJ to keep it up to date you will
also need rsync.
