Hello,
I am attempting to install jeos-8.04.2 in vmware (also tried this in virtual box with the same errors listed below).
I ran into the problem of the install hanging at the apt-get section. I researched this and found that disabling networking after dhcp is configured solved the problem.
However, once the install is complete, and I run the sudo apt-get update command, it hangs at connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com. I did some more research and read that the mirror us.archive.ubuntu.com is down. Therefore I modified the sources.list file to drop the us from the address.
Now the command hangs at security.ubuntu.com. I read up on this, but there is not much help for this problem. Some posts pointed to a web site that could generate sources.list files with different mirrors, but this site does not appear to be up still.
How can I fix this issue now that the install is complete? Most of what I read points to editing sources.list with a new mirror. Unfortunately I can't find a good source on the web for choosing a new mirror.
Thanks,
Jose
