Also fails to configure automatically without host name. I think what's really happening here is a configuration is attempted and the system fails to check for success or failure status of that configuration and just assumes the configuration has happened as it moves along to the next step. With a network that is slow, I've had to get out to the main menu and select configure network as many as four times to get an actual working network connection the installer could use to finish its work. On the cable system I use for internet, even after installation I often read the messages on aptitude update attempts and aptitude full-upgrade attempts something wicked happened while trying to connect to http://ftp.us.debian.org/ no ip address associated with name. I don't even know what error code that is, but if that's happening with the installer it's no wonder the network connection temporarily fails. By the way, I maintain the same connection and try those aptitude commands a few seconds later and the commands then work properly. On Sun, 27 Nov 2011, Francesco Pietra wrote:
