remove mirror/http/hostname and mirror/http/directory preseeding, since it's
no longer necessary as of choose-mirror 2.27ubuntu2 and it causes problems on

The reason that this broke even with a working connection, by the way,

This problem is essentially occurring because we're preseeding

Now that choose-mirror recognises lpia (as of 2.27ubuntu2) and does the
right thing with it by default, there is no longer any need for this
preseeding and I'm going
I don't suppose there's any hope of getting an installer syslog? For

This happens because apt-setup believes that the MID install is a
netboot install, and so does not create a working /etc/apt/sources.list,

There's a couple short-term workarounds available:
1) Use preseeding to disable language selection on install, and force
en_US. This is bad because many users will have networking at install
time.
2) Modify livecd-rootfs to install a bunch of common langpacks on the
