Yeap.I did it finally.You need to download the 36 MB's file from the
disks-i386/current and create that directory wherever you copy the
content of the CD.At least that's how i did it and worked.I was angry
because I wouldn't have t odo that if the file would've been
there.Actually I was
mounitng originally the iso using the loop device and if the file
would've been there.....oh well..maybe at next release.Till then youhave
to creaste
a local mirror,not a bad idea anyway since a HDD will be obviously
faster than a CDROM.:-)
