Re: fai-make-nfsroot fails to download certain packages

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for the hint. Taking apt-cacher out of equation has helped 
indeed and I no longer see package downloads failing.

Some new issues running fai-make-nfsroot:

Please fix the error or try fai-make-nfsroot -v

Possibly tomorrow I'll see if I can get a bootable client installed 
despite the warnings and errors.

Adam
