[11:27] <eason> Ruben: hi
[11:28] <_ruben> hi
[11:29] <eason> do you remember me who asked your help for PXE installing of Ubuntu few days before?
[11:30] <_ruben> vaguely :)
[11:31] <eason> I am still struggling with this problem, no any progress further, could you help me to solve it?
[11:31] <_ruben> at which stage are you stuck currently?
[11:34] <eason> when choosing my ubuntu copy in my web server, comes error 'installer failed to download a file from the mirror'
[11:35] <_ruben> the installer log and the webserver log oughta give some insight on what it's looking for that doesnt exist
[11:36] <_ruben> http://mywheel.net/blog/index.php/ubuntu-network-install/ .. perhaps this approach still works (its from an ancient ubuntu release) .. it uses tftp for everything
[11:37] <eason> and in console 4, installer log, it shows 'main-menu : wget : not an http or ftp url '
[11:37] <_ruben> hmm .. looks like a flawed preseed file then
[11:38] <_ruben> could you pastebin your preseed file?
[11:40] <_ruben> or are you picking your local mirror manually in the installer?
[11:41] <eason> yes, d-i mirror/http/hostname string 192.168.2.1
[11:41] <eason> d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu
[11:41] <eason> d-i mirror/http/proxy string
[11:43] <eason> maybe something wrong in my mirror server by http, even when using net installing without preseed, the same error comes
[11:45] <_ruben> add: d-i mirror/protocol string http
[11:45] <_ruben> crap .. gotta run .. bbl
[11:45] <eason> let me try
[11:47] <_ruben> here's what it looks like on my end: http://paste.ubuntu.com/324307/
[11:54] <eason> I have added it, but the same error comes, in log console, it shows -- anna: cat: can't open '/tmp/net-retriever-2909-deduplicat/*' : No such file or directory
[11:59] <eason> my preseed, http://paste.ubuntu.com/324312/
[12:02] <eason> ruben, any tips ?
[12:15] <eason> what is your version of Ubuntu? mine is 9.10
[13:58] <corp186> are there instructions somewhere for how to build an installer image?
[13:59] <corp186> I want to do some development work on the debian installer and ubiquity
