I've encountered exactly this problem. Instead of a network share, I made the assumption that the mirror one is installing against, is in actual fact a full export of the live ISO image. And thus, I change the logic (with a hint from Colin) to iterate and search for filesystem.squashfs twice: once with /cdrom/ prefix, and the second time with $mirror. The patch is here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/230268700/live-installer_46ubuntu1_46ubuntu2.diff.gz And I shall rework it for debian, due to things that are different between ubuntu and debian. Regards, Dimitri.
