After this I can't continue with the install.

Could you please extract /var/log/syslog from the installer (use "Guardar los registros de depuración" or "Save debug logs" from the installer's main menu) and attach it to this bug?

First time that I use this tool (Save debug logs) and I think it's wonderful!

Greetings!

Thanks. It's timing out trying to talk to the network to get the release codename. I need to make choose-mirror a bit more intelligent here.

You are welcome!

Installer (choose-mirror) works fine in "default" installation. Why we have problems with server install mode?

Greetings from Chile
