"bad mirror archive" : What should I put as the "mirror of ubuntu archive" on installation of ubuntu?
- by rockit
I'm trying to set up ubuntu from my old macintosh laptop, but when it asks me to put in the "mirror of ubuntu archive" I run into problems.
For the mirror, I put in mirror.anl.gov
for the ubuntu archive mirror directory, i put in pub/ubuntu/
Then I leave the http proxy blank and hit "continue"
It then tries to "download release files", which starts at 0%, and eventually jumps straight to 100% and then it presents me with an error of "bad mirror archive".
Any advice? I never set up ubuntu before, and I'm really struggling with this step.
