Hi, I learned about the existance of cdn.debian.net from this thread. Trying it out (from Germany), it seems that one of the two addresses that the DNS resolves to doesn't have the expected files. http://cdn.debian.net/linux/boot/syslinux/ gives a 404 on every second time I access it, accordingly. btr0x2.rz.uni-bayreuth.de is the host that is missing the files. Just to let you know, Peter
