bug#323: Feature not yet implimented on BBC 2.0 disk?

Hi DeeJoe and Paul,

	A figure from the past still haunts you from the qclug list. ;^}
I'm only bugging you because I've typed @ you both B4.

	But the real meat and potatos of this email is that I'm building
a new Dual AMD MP 2200+ machine and was using the lnx-bbc to burn it in.
Last night I tried to use the "list-packages" function for a debian
install on the box. The schedule was as follows:

1.) Downloaded bbc-2003-03-30T03:58:17-0800.iso and burnt to a CDRW

2.) Boot the machine w/ the burnt iso. Watch discover correctly identify
my NIC and load the tulip module. -- success

3.) Login as root -- success

4.) Run trivial-net-setup (sweet script BTW) to receive a DHCP address
from my hardware router/switch/DHCP sever. Test the IP/network w/
ifconfig and ping a local LAN address and yahoo.com. -- success

5.) Type "help" @ the prompt to find out how to start a Debian install. (I
do understand as of 1.6XXX it's in the online help that this feature was
maybe there and I never tried it w/ that one. BUt I check it out and and
am told that I should run "list-packages".
 -- success

6.) Run "list-packages" from the prompt and have the script tell me that
it could not connect to any servers and that they may be down. -- failure
_______________________

	Now that I'm home and can actually look @ the script I see the call to
$URL but not where it's defined. Is this a feature that's still in
production? Is there a definition I should be entering @ the prompt w/
"list-packages"?

Otherwise it seems to have done well w/ fdisk, cfdisk, mke2fs,
mkreiserfs, mkswap, etc. so far........An excellent project gentlemen!
