This is a mysterious problem.  This week I had a Linux beginners course
and we installed woody on 11 computers at the same time from the same
ftp-site on exactly the same procedure (and identical hardware).  We had
this problem on one of the computers.  Changing the address to unstable
allowed us to continue.

I would like to know where the problem is?
