Package: debian-installer Version: no idea. Netinstall image was DL'ed on 22-Sep-2006
During the installation step "Select and install software", progress ground to a halt. It said "running tasksel", the progress bar remained at 1% for several minutes. A motionless progress bar doesn't convey much information; there is no hint as to what actually went wrong. Even if I knew, there is no way to abort / go back at this point (short of switching to another console and applyig some l33t linux skillz. Due to insufficient knowledge of what I was doing, this only raised even more issues). So much for the actual complaint. Here's what I was doing: According to ALT-F4, it was trying to download the popularity-contest package at that time. After killing apt-get, the log said "Failed to fetch http://zwerg:9999/main/pool/main/p/popularity-contest/popularity-contest_1.34_all.deb Connection failed" zwerg happens to be the local apt-proxy machine; a subsequent attempt to retrieve that file from another box on the network was sucessful, so I don't think it's he proxy's fault. ---snip--- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ wget http://zwerg:9999/main/pool/main/p/popularity-contest/popularity-contest_1.34_all.deb --14:02:48-- http://zwerg:9999/main/pool/main/p/popularity-contest/popularity-contest_1.34_all.deb => `popularity-contest_1.34_all.deb' Resolving zwerg... 192.168.30.1 Connecting to zwerg[192.168.30.1]:9999... connected.

I'm filing a bug report because I couldn't abort the stalled installation and just go back to selecting another mirror. I had to reboot the box and start over from scratch. regards, Schnobs -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
