I used the Debian Etch CD 1 from the CD set. I have also tried with the netinstall-CD using the mirror ftp.fi.debian.org and another mirror in Finland but the result is same.
I also tried the main Debian server and the result is same. It only retrieves a smaller number of packages and when it stops the screen says like: "retrieving package 8 of 8". These are the last lines that I get in the alt+F4 screen when the installation has stopped: ---clip--- Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: The following NEW packages will be automatically installed: Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: libedit2 libgssapi2 libisccc0 libisccfg1 libpci2 python2.4 Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: python2.4-minimal ucf Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: The following NEW packages will be installed: Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: at bc bind9-host dc dictionaries-common dnsutils doc-debian Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: doc-linux-text exim4 exim4-base exim4-config exim4-daemon-light file Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: finger ftp gettext-base iamerican ibritish ispell less libbind9-0 Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: libdns22 libedit2 libevent1 libgc1c2 libgpmg1 libgssapi2 libidn11 Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: libisc11 libisccc0 libisccfg1 libkrb53 liblockfile1 liblwres9 libmagic1 Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: libnfsidmap2 libpci2 libpcre3 librpcsecgss3 libsemanage1 libtasn1-3-bin Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: lsof m4 mailx mime-support mpack mtools mtr-tiny mutt ncurses-term Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: nfs-common openssh-client patch pciutils perl perl-modules pidentd Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: policycoreutils portmap procmail python python-central python-minimal Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: python-newt python-selinux python-semanage python-support python2.4 Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: python2.4-minimal reportbug selinux-policy-refpolicy-targeted sharutils Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: strace tcsh telnet texinfo time ucf w3m wamerican whois Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: The following packages are RECOMMENDED but will NOT be installed: Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: ca-certificates psmisc Apr 23 01:29:32 in-target: 0 packages upgraded, 81 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
