Hi Paul,

What iso file are you using, an old ToriOS iso file (which date or
md5sum?), or an Ubuntu mini.iso? There are good and bad Ubuntu mini.iso
files. I use one from

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise-updates/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/

7a2b6316ede26dc0eff89ea80df07049  mini.iso
5a7184d44475a6581a33307b753ca393  mini-nonpae.iso

The original mini.iso files are not compatible with the present
repositories in the mirrors, so they don't work.

Jack Trice told me of the precise-updates :-)

Best regards
Nio
