I'm sorry for the lack of details...
I have a laptop that I want to install Ubuntu (5.10 or Dapper beta). The
laptop is a Dell Latitutde c400. It has no cdrom or floppy drives. I
have setup up a PXE server using Ubuntu on another laptop to help me
install Ubuntu on the Dell C400.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu on my Dell C400 by doing the following:
1) I turn on my c400 and PXE boot.
2) After the Ubuntu install kernel runs (downloaded from Ubuntu website)
I follow the prompts (ie. Language, etc)
3) After network settings are verfied I type in the DNS server that Im
using.
4) I type in a hostname.
5) I choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive.
6) I choose the US (ie. us.archive.ubuntu.com) and press ENTER.
7) I skip the proxy http setup
8) I get the following message The specified Ubuntu archive mirror is
either not available, or does not have a valid Release file on it.
Please try a different mirror. I have tried other mirrors and I get the
same thing. I few weeks ago I installed Ubuntu via network install.
Now I can't. I haven't changed anything.

When you say *network install*, what do you mean? What exactly are you
doing, step by step?
