Public bug reported:
I have noticed similar bugs have been reported for earlier versions of
ubuntu, too.
In my case, I have filled IP addresses during installation of gutsy -
however, these were assigned to eth0 (unused ethernet card on my PC) and
I had no chance to assign it to eth1 (usb wifi dongle, works fine with
wpa_supplicant).
Installation continued fine until apt wanted to download package lists
from internet repositories. According to log, it just tried various
files with timeout of cca 1 minute - I have given up waiting after 10
minutes, started installation again and disabled network.
Others may have problem that LAN works, but external internet is
temporarily unavailable. From what ever reason.
It would be great, if the installation script checks availability of the
internet repositories before letting apt do its work. Or at least the
user intervention should be possible.
