Nope, "still" works for me.. Can you ping http://ports.ubuntu.com/ locally? As there is NO other mirrors. In that past it's always turned out the end user has had a crappy/limited internet connection. Side note, did it actually say "cannot connect to mirror?" or did you get tired of waiting the 10 minutes for ubuntu to do it's thing i mention in the notes: Note: with Ubuntu Releases During Install, after proxy setup, there seems to be a VERY LONG delay... (on average it seems to be taking anywhere between 10-20 Minutes)... In the background: Ubuntu is trying really-really hard to find a compatible kernel... > On installation: will this install raring on the mmc I'm booting from or do > I need a different medium to install on ?

The NetInstall has one big limitation, the psychical device you flashed the installer with the "mk_mmc.sh" command has to be used at all times to "boot" the device. As the bootloader/etc is in that small 100Mb boot fat partition.. However the "rootfs" can be almost anywhere else, from what's left on that microSD, or on a usb-sata drive, or on another microSD (for some platforms that have two slots..).. Just remember, at partition stage, DO NOT TOUCH the 100MB fat/boot partition, if you do you break the install and will have to start all over with the "mk_mmc.sh" command as everything needed to "finish" the install is located in that partition..
