Description Mathias Bogaert 2013-05-11 18:43:56 UTC 
The TFTP fetch-url script inserts a slash in front of the remote file. This breaks certain TFTP servers with 'access violation'. Since TFTP expects the path to start at root, the slash is not necessary and can be removed.

so the line 
> remote_file="/$(echo $url | cut -d/ -f 4-)"

should be 
> remote_file="$(echo $url | cut -d/ -f 4-)"

What is "TFTP fetch-url script"? Where is it? I found nothing like this in busybox.

Sorry, this bug should have been logged against debian-installer-utils. I thought that the script was part of busybox. Closing.
