Comment 19 for bug 876298

Hi,
I did a re-install but deselected the Fluendo MP3 Plugin and Ubuntu installed OK this time.Assuming that it would be desirable to have the MP3 plugin, can I install it later?
In Grub Boot Manager, can I change the default OS from Ubuntu to Windows 7 and increase the time delay?Any help gratefully received.

> Bug description:
> At the 11.10 release archive.canonical.com collapsed under heavy load
> and started returning 503 errors. This caused the flash package to be
> unable to grab its payload and thus caused the package to fail, which
> in turn caused the installation to fail.

> The current plan is to add metadata to a package where it can add a
> URL to retrieve its data, so ubiquity and apt-get --download-only can
> cache it. We also need a way to queue up package installation post-
> install, for when we commit to installing flash but cannot do so due
> to network issues, or when the user wishes to have full language
> support post-install.
