Comments/Problems:
I tried to install from debian.yorku.ca on the 20050418 but it failed
when downloading pppoeconfig. Since I was doing that late at night and
my brain was asleep, I retried a few times from same mirror with no
success. I started to think: maybe I'm the only one still using
floppies to install Debian.
Two days later I decided to try it once more but this time I used
ftp.debian.org and the install went perfectly well.
To help people like me who sometimes lack imagination, maybe the
installer could offer to use another mirror when the download fails
while installing the base system.
My only little complaint is with the new partitioning GUI. When not
using the default partitioning schemes, it feels slow compared with
cfdisk and it is not that intuitive.
Keep up the good work!

Looks like a temporarily (or permanently) broken mirror...
Given that your installation was a complete success, I do as
usual with reports for successful installations: I close the bug..:-)
This does not of course mean you weren't right to report. Knowing the
installations are correct is important for the d-i team.
Many thanks for your time testing the Debian Installer and reporting
your results. Have fun with your new Debian system!
