Re: netboot installation fails
Sorry for the double post, thought it might be good to bump this topic.
I just tried the mini.iso that was giving me the error as before but this time, the package was different.

Loading kickseed-common failed for unknown reasons. Aborting
Do I need to get a replacement mini.iso?
Re: netboot installation fails
Yes, the exact nature of the error will drift depending on what else lands in -updates. As I said, it wasn't a problem with ntfs-3g as such.
You definitely need to get a replacement mini.iso, and I'm afraid that for now you do have to use -proposed (and apt-setup/proposed=true) or it simply won't work. This will get into -updates in time for the point release in early July, though.
Re: netboot installation fails
Guess I'll be doing a minimal install from CD and updating then, I don't have the patience to wait until July to install Ubuntu on my portable storage :P
Thanks for the feedback
Re: netboot installation fails
Although we have recieved the following message,
If we keep going, Installation is completed normally.
(Quote message:
Loading kickseed-common failed for unknown reasons. Aborting)
We added some options of apt-setup/proposed=true,
but, the situation did not change.
So is it okay for us to igonore the above message?
Re: netboot installation fails
That's the same type of error as before. No, you can't ignore it. Please confirm the URL from which you downloaded the installer image; the one in hardy will not work and you have to use hardy-proposed.

I also get that
"loading kickseed-common failed for unkown reasons. aborting."
What iso must we use then cos i downloaded mine wed 18 june, late afternoon (CAT) - and i get the same errors -what must I do ... what is this apt-setup... I only know how to run the cud -there is no option for a command line console.. So what must i do -has the iso been updated since i downloaded it or what else must I do?

Note: This was entirely from my memory which _isn't very good_ :P Please skip to the edited section at the bottom.
Did you download the mini.iso from: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...mages/netboot/
You should be presented with a menu during the boot up ( if I recall correctly ) and one of the function keys ( I think it might be F6 ) will bring up a little box in the lower right corner. You have to add
Quote:
apt-setup/proposed=true
to the end.
-=-=- EDIT -=-=-
To do a netboot install, download the http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...tboot/mini.iso and as a boot parameter, type in:
Quote:
apt-setup/proposed=true
Attached are screen-shots that show an errorless minimal install from the netboot image.
Re: netboot installation fails
You need to use:
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dis...tboot/mini.iso
The one in /dists/hardy/ will not work.

Re: netboot installation fails
If you follow the instructions on my previous post ( which I have now edited ) and install a minimal system, you can then install the xubuntu-desktop package to get an Xubuntu install.
