Hello,
Thanks for many good tips. I tried both ftp and http, both ftp.funet.fi
and mirror.clarkson.edu, and always I end up soon after the above dialog
screen (in Mathew's message) with the following error:
+---------------+ Error +----------------+
| |
| Unable to retrieve |
| http://ftp.funet.fi//pub/mirrors/cent |
| os.org/5.3/os/i386/images/stage2.img. |
| |
| +----+ |
| | OK | |
| +----+ |
| |
| |
+----------------------------------------+
Strange, because I can download that image both with wget (from a http
mirror) and with ftp (from a ftp mirror). Should I try downloading the
whole i386 directory, and publish it locally with Apache, or something
like that?
