With prior releases, I was in the habit of installing from CD, but then changing source of installation to FTP, to make sure I was pulling the latest update, whenever I went to install additional packages. Since the FTP version of 8.0 was published, I have been expecting that YOU will replace my YAST2 with an FTP-capable one. To date, this hasn't happened. has anyone figured out which of the myriad of yast2 .rpm's contains the 'change source of installation' module, so I can manually update yast2 to restore my FTP installation ability?

I never did find one. The only thing under Network was NFS.
There is no ftp in the version on the CD/dvd. When the announcement of the ftp version was made it was also stated that you had to use the boot disk from suse's ftp server. Either the boot floppies or the boot.iso located there.
There is also an excellent readme describing how to do the install either from suse's ftp, one of the mirrors or from your own local lan if you mirror the installation directory.
SuSE's knowledgebase also has a description on how to perform network installs.
