Package: debian-installer
Version: shipped with etch initial release

Hello,

I guess I found a bug in the debian installer concerning the preseed/run
command.
Using a netinstall i386 Etch CD I enter at the command prompt :

Press F1 for help, or ENTER to boot : auto url=10.6.64.156/preseed.cfg
interface=eth0

Then installation start up to a message standing :

"The file needed for preconfiguration could not be retrieved from
http://10.6.64.156/killdhcp.sh. The installation will proceed in 
non-automated mode"

But if I ALT/CTRL/F2 and enter wget http://10.6.64.156/killdhcp.sh the
file actually loads.

In preseed.cfg the directive is :

d-i preseed/run string killdhcp.sh

If I try to wget or load the file in a browser I succeed too.
