Hi, Following up on my previous posting, I've got the /var/log/syslog off the slug from my failed install. I've put it on google docs at:
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dhg5vq6x_73dbsv3ggs The relevant lines towards the end seem to be: "Dec 29 21:34:12 base-installer: Err http://ftp.uk.debian.org etch Release.gpg Dec 29 21:34:12 base-installer: Could not connect to ftp.uk.debian.org:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out Dec 29 21:34:12 base-installer: Reading package lists... Dec 29 21:34:12 base-installer: Failed to fetch http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/Release.gpg Could not connect to ftp.uk.debian.org:80 (1.0.0.0), connection timed out" ...followed by subsequent failures to authenticate packages. >From my laptop going through the same ADSL router I can get to ftp.uk.debian.org:80. Have I got something set up wrong in my slug's network? Any idea how I could debug? I *think* I'm setting up the slug by DHCP. I can obviously SSH into the slug from the same 192.168.1.x network. Cheers, Dave.
