10.0.1.1/apt-cacher/mirror.ox.ac.uk then the directory took the default "/debian/", no proxy and then entered http as the protocol. That took me straight back to the "select a mirror" panel, it never even tried to access the server (I was watching with Ethereal). How do I get it to use this manually entered info. I am using pre-RC2, but I will try RC2. David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
