No. dns doesn't seem to be the cause. to be sure, I created reverse entries in my hosts file for the missing in-addr.ptr records. And it still doesn't work.

The problem exists between these two system calls:

[pid 1063] mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb7220000

[pid 1063] write(1, "DOWNLOAD_FAILED:4 | Error:IOErro"..., 88) = 88

mmap2 returned a pointer, so that worked, and yet the Installer decides that it's failed.

Perhaps the content of the data mapped into memory was not what the installer expected.

I think I'd have to unpack and debug the installer to pursue this issue any further.

It's disappointing cause I really wanted to get some work done with my new FPGA kit this weekend.
