Comments/Problems:
I tried the automatic install, and everything was fine until I got the
following error: "Bad archive mirror".
Switching to console 4 with Alt-F4 I can see the following command
trying to execute:
---
Jun 16 19:41:09 choose-mirror[29486]: DEBUG: command: wget -q
http://ftp.debian.org(null)/dists/lenny/Release -O - | grep ^Suite: |
cut -d' ' -f 2
---
If I test this in a new busybox console with a correct URL, without the
'(null)' part, I can connect to the server and retreive a correct listing.
Hope this helps,
Anders
