Description Paul Hirst 2001-01-30 20:22:54 UTC

Using the bootnet.img image, the first section works properly but the second stage (after the shadow,md5,kerebos etc screen) fails.
I've tried 3 different sites and tried using both http and ftp installs.
Ftp hangs forever (well till I get bored, actually about 5 minutes) and http returns the error below fairly quickly. The sites I have tried are public mirrors in the uk and france.
I am behind a NAT here but we don't have to use the proxy (although there is one). I haven't tried using our proxy, I couldn't suss the syntax to specify it.
Often the first stage will fail if previous attempts have been made in the same boot. As in just now I tried to specify a proxy, gave up, went back to try without a proxy but only the first file has been download and the install has now hung.

Traceback (innermost last):

Try a different server - this is a problem with a corrupted file on the server,
or in transit.
