I don't think it is a IPv6 problem. Here a part of my syslog from a later try with another mirror: Apr 16 21:58:29 debootstrap: Apr 16 21:58:29 debootstrap: Setting up tasksel (2.66) ... Apr 16 21:58:41 debootstrap: Apr 16 22:00:51 base-installer: Err http://ftp.nl.debian.org etch Release.gpg Apr 16 22:00:51 base-installer: Could not connect to ftp.nl.debian.org:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out Apr 16 22:00:51 base-installer: Reading package lists... Apr 16 22:00:51 base-installer: Failed to fetch http:// ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/Release.gpg Could not connect to ftp.nl.debian.org:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out Apr 16 22:01:42 base-installer: Apr 16 22:01:42 base-installer: E: Apr 16 22:01:42 base-installer: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. Apr 16 22:01:42 base-installer: It looks like the installer has lost DNS for this mirror. I had that problem on an old server with Debian Woody x86. apt-get update wasn't working with the same error. Then I had to ping the mirror to get an correct DNS and after that, apt-get had worked for some time. This problem disappeared with Sarge. The other idea with preformatting the USB-Drive: doesn't matter for me. I had to preformat my USB stick cause of the memory problem, but that changed nothing.
