That 'should' work - assuming the hostname line wasn't tried verbatim - and dependant on how you are using preseed.cfg and your boot parameters (see my questions further down). ftp 'can' be problematic and if you have a choice choose http. Try:- (protocol string doesn't seem to be required if not selecting ftp) d-i mirror/country string enter information manually d-i mirror/http/hostname string ftp.iitm.ac.in d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian/ d-i mirror/http/proxy string <snipped> > > I have given different mirrors and even used http. > From console and browser, i'm able to > fetch ftp://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian/dists/wheezy/Release > > Any pointers in solving this. First tell us what you are trying to do.... Are you adding the preseed.cfg to the CD *or* calling it from the boot prompt? What boot parameters are you using? What is the rest of your preseed.cfg? NOTE: the answers to the previous two questions determine what's required for preseed.cfg to work - please put the preseed.cfg on paste.debian.net and link to it in your post. Did you try Alt+F4 during the install to see what the problem was? If so what were the messages? Have you selected the "Save debug logs" option which starts a simple web server and allows you to get meaningful installation information? > > Thanks, > Sandeep. You may find this preseed.cfg useful to compare yours to:- http://paste.debian.net/83397 I use it *in* a CD, and boot the CD with:- "install auto DEBCONF_DEBUG=5". It auto-partitions, builds a stripped-down box, and includes ssh (ssh installer@ipAddress). Modify it suit your needs and circumstances.
