Package: debian-installer
Version: debian testing net install from around 2006.11.01
Severity: normal
When I entered a manual APT server, and that server was offline, then
installer hanged on scanning mirror.
I checked on second console, the hanging process was wget morror-address
I tried killing it but then installer respastarted it, and again and again.
IMHO it should have a timeout and report error instead restarting wget.
to give option to enter other, working address.
Btw, IMHO at that time of installation commands like ping and perhaps
ifconfig should be available to help setting up the mirror in LAN (if it
needes manual network config)
