Better to fix the mirror? Yes, I tried to fix the mirror but I don't unterstand the awk script included in apt-move. See bug [1]. Maybe someone of the Debian Installer Team can help and fix the awk script? Related to bug [1], I got a reply there asking if the md5sums are still neded somewhere in the debian mirror. On the official Debian Mirror I can still see MD5sum. Can someone of the Debian Installer Team reply to the post on bug [1] please? Links: [1] http://bugs.debian.org/662003 sincerely yours Mario
