Comments/Problems:
The process fails when analyzing mirrors. Whatever selected mirror, it fails. I've checked with a Linux Live install that the selected mirrors are up (ftp.lip6.fr, mirror.ibcp.fr, miroir.univ-lorraine.fr)
One problem : in the error panel, it is indicated that the log is available in /var/log/syslog and it is proposed to take a snapshot of the screen saved in /var/log/mirror-bcd-3.png
However, after rebooting with a live CD and looking at the /var of the DD to be installed, there is none of these logs. Are they deleted if the installation process is stopped?

Below is the content of the /var/log of the DD to be installed, after failure

I've tried twice with no success.

<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
      and ideas you had during the initial install.>

Please make sure that any installation logs that you think would
be useful are attached to this report. (You can find them in the installer
system in /var/log/ and later on the installed system under
/var/log/installer.) Please compress large files using gzip.

During installation, installer logs and screenshots are written to the
installer root filesystem which is a tmpfs (volatile). In order to store
them permanently, you must either complete the installation even if a
step failed or manually copy them to any persistent location, e.g. in
the installed system (/target), from an installer shell before aborting
the installation.

When the installation is completed, installer logs are copied to
/var/log/installer of the installed system.
