Normally, it should have already downloaded files (at least it wrote that it downloaded files some hours ago). > I only install off CD or DVD so I'm not familiar with the netinst.

I've already tried changing ftp mirrors, but nice suggestion though. I actually get many messages with in-target: `in-target: Do you wxant to ignore this warning and proceed anyway?' `To continue, enter [...].' and I see many packages' names with `in-target' before, but no warning. I can't go to the top, so I can't guess what it wrote before what I'm seeing. (I see all these messages thanks to Ctrl Alt F4 as suggested before.) -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.

Why is it never mentioned in the install process? (I wouldn't have disturbed the ML if I had seen this directly.) -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
