No. You are breaking the installer here. If you want to use "files from outside" you should *not* be using a netinst or full CD/DVD image. Did you actually get the error "failed to determine the codename for this release"? Did you perhaps use expert mode and select "choose-mirror" as an optional component when you got the error? If yes, exactly what image did you use (full URL of the one you downloaded please)? Cheers, FJP -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
