Problem with network automated installation

[CVirus]

Me and my team are facing the exact same problem with amd64 !

Found the solution cd dists/karmic/restricted/binary-amd64/ && gunzip Packages.gz .. Now the error is gone. Don't forget to adjust to i386 instead of amd64.

I'm trying an automated installation and need to avoid any human intervention. Have you unzipped the Packages.gz package into the server's repository folder? Can you specify which is exactly the solution you have found?

Ok, that solved my error too!

So this is more of a 'work around' as opposed to a 'solution' and kind of takes the automation out of this process.

I'm mounting an ISO as I don't want to replicate it's contents on the local file system (nor should I have to) - making that path read-only.
