Well, that's my fault, probably. The code (IIRC) checks if there are fewer than 3 /'s and if so adds the default path. Of course, with file:/// urls, you've got 3 straight away. Perhaps the check for file URLs should instead say: add the default path iff the url matches ^file:///.*/$ Can anyone think of circumstances where a file:/// URL pointing at a directory, rather than a file, would be a valid thing to do? I guess that we could also adopt the same approach for other protocols, but I avoided that at the time because I thought that someone might like to have preseed files generated on the fly, on a per client basis, by specifying something like: url=http://our.magic.presseds.local/ Cheers, Phil. -- |)| Philip Hands [+44 (0)20 8530 9560] HANDS.COM Ltd. |-| http://www.hands.com/http://ftp.uk.debian.org/ |(| Hugo-Klemm-Strasse 34, 21075 Hamburg,GERMANY pgp4HFA1Af5kc.pgp Description: PGP signature
