Bug#184859: I can't correct typing errors
Package: debian-installer
Version: Daily Build
This looks pretty serious to me.
I've got to the wrong mirror (my type) and I'm trying to enter values
that won't work to see what happens.
When entering proxy information, use the standard form of
"http://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port]/";
> http://cc.computerdatasafe.com.au/debian-sarge/^H^H^H^[[3~^[[3~^[[3~^H^H^H
I'm using minicom at the end of a null modem cable.
The backspace, del, arrow keys all add to that junk. ^C does nothing.
Okay, I've gone through that and I am back at the menu where I can try
again.
Oh dear, that's broken too:
52. enter information manually
Prompt: 1 - 52, default=Mexico> 52
