The mirror is not broken, i can do 'apt-install' from another machine
'apt-cache search' shows that the packages required by FAI are present on
the mirror

running fai-mirror tells :
/usr/bin/fai-mirror finished

There is no warnings, no errors

During the install process via CD, does FAI need to access the local mirror,
or it has all the needed packages on the CD ?
I'm just trying to do it with a default config.
