Package: install
Version: jigdo download 2003-07-12 (can't install to find out more!)
I want to install Sarge from scratch on a laptop. The laptop has a strange
PCMCIA NIC so I have to install without network access. I downloaded (jigdo)
the first 5 CD iso images. I have tried installing with CD1 and CD4 but get
to the same dead end:
All goes well with the install - sensible defaults, good hardware detection,
easy way to leave partitions as they are. Unfortunately, when I try to
install the base system the installer gives this message:
P: 0 100 Downloading Release file
I: Retrieving http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/Release
E: Failed getting release file
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sarge/Release
Debian Installer Main Menu
Installing base system into /target/ failed
Check /target/var/log/............. for the details.
(the logs are empty)
It seems I must have the network configured before I can install the base
system to get the network configured - catch 22! Asking on the forums the
suggestion is: install woody and then dist-upgrade. I can do that but thought
you'd like to know about this problem.

I did a test install of sarge from the latest netinst CDs with no network
cables plugged in -- worked fine, so I take it the problem has been fixed
now. :-)
