Bug#230442: FWD: Bug#228271: INSTALL REPORT - d-i Beta 2: Broken "stable" installation over net



Package: installation-reports
 
 The following installation report was posted to debian-boot, and,
 according to my records, never followed up on. I am putting it in the
 BTS so it will not be lost.

Comments/Problems:

I am having problems getting the stable distro to install.  My network card 
is detected and works fine (gets a lease from DHCP, etc.).  I can select a 
Debian mirror with no problem.  I also proceed to select "stable" for 
distribution type; however, I get an error saying that the installer can't 
get installation files from the mirror.  However, if I select "testing" or 
"unstable" the installer proceeds to the disk partitioning phase without a 
problem.

It would appear that "stable" installation has been disabled in the Beta 2 
installer.  Is this the case, or is there an actual bug involved?

Otherwise, the Beta 2 installer is *perfect* on my machine.  You guys are 
doing a *fantastic* job.  Keep plugging away, this installer is probably 
"ready for prime time."  :-D

Regards,

Kevin Griffis
