Need to be able to install with Wubi without internet access.

[johnza]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

bug in wubi that comes with ubuntu 8.04 beta. I can't use wubi as it doesn't have any configuration dialog. After it copies the cd image to the harddisk it tries to download the md5sum.gpg or something from the internet, then i can only cancel which then only ends install session. Very Disappointing. Using wubi with ubuntu cd offline should be available.

Is this reproducible with the latest version of Ubuntu? (8.04.1)

Download is of latest release. Any suggestions? The cursor on my host PC is patiently awaiting an event to be triggered..

Sorry install is not Beta. Tried both 86x releases.

If you have a valid CD, any download failure should not be critical for the rest of the installation. There is a log file in your user temp folder. That will help to identify any issue, please attach it here. In any case you should be able to run Wubi with the command line argument --skipmd5check.
