They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. And still can't get the installer to correctly locate the repo. Wondering if there's q disconnect somewhere, if it's doing an in-target call, I don't think the location would be correct. The in-target location would be /media/cdrom/ads/apt/debian.... wouldn't it?

Just i386 packages at the time. d-i apt-setup/local0/repository string \ deb file:/ads/repo/ / Now from google, it seems the deb declaration is optional these days, and at least in the resulting sources.list I can see it did properly define the entry as a deb repo. # Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify: #deb file:///ads/apt/debian wheezy main Thanks. -- Ryan Braun Defence Weather Services Chief Information Officer Branch, Environment Canada CIV: 204-833-2500x2824 CSN: 257-2824 FAX: 204-833-2558 E-Mail: ryan.br...@ec.gc.ca -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
