Get the logs (try another virtual terminal) and confirm which one it is and 
confirm that file exists at the mirrors. It could be the folder hierarchy has 
changed. Unlikely, but possible.

Are you sure you can connect to port 80 at each of these mirrors? It might be a 
general networking issue.

You can. There's an [offline mode][1].

[lubuntu-users] netboot failing to install

[Ian Bruntlett]

Hi,

When I try to install the netboot disc for Ubuntu/lubuntu 16.04 LTS 32-bit
on CD-R, I have a problem.

When the computer is "Loading additional components" I get the error
message:-
"The installer failed to install a file from the mirror". I *suspect* the
missing file is "nic-firmware" and I have tried these three mirrors:-
archive.ubuntu.com
gb.archive.ubntu.com
fr.archive.ubuntu.com

Should I get a bug number for this bug? Obviously I can't run one of the
apport commands so if you can point out a web page with relevant help would
be really appreciated :)

BW,


Ian
