Unfortunately I am not able to reproduce the issue here. Given it involves name resolving, I wouldn't be surprised it depends on the DNS servers being used. > Background > ---------- > I was trying to reinstall an older system with wheezy. > I was using the PXE install image available on 2016-09-08 UTC, at > ftp.au.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot > > The mirror shows the last update timestamp as 2016-05-31. > debian-installer/amd64/boot-screens/f1.txt has the fairly useless > build date stamp 20130613+deb7u3+b2. > > This installation method was working fine with earlier installer > versions.

Unfortunately, without being able to reproduce the problem, it will be very difficult to debug it. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
