Summary:                    Missing alternate download location in lunaric-sound
Description: 
I've just installed the 1.5.1 ISO from scratch, wiping the disks in the
process.

When it came to 'lin lunar' as described in 'man lfirsttime' for some
reason I decided to enable the 'lunaric-sound' module. Unfortunately the
download of the module from the main lunar-linux.org site was blocked, so
'lin lunar' failed.

Of course the second attempt at 'lin lunar' didn't ask about
'lunaric-sound' and
as a relative newbie on the Lunar block, I was unable to see how to change
the configuration for subsequent attempts. Luckily I was able to use locate
to find
details of the 'lunaric-sound' module and saw that there is only a single
download location configured. I tweaked this to be 'de.lunar-linux.org'
and was able to continue without problem.

So, two points:
1. 'man lfirsttime' should describe how to wipe any existing configuration
for a module. Even 'lin --deps' causes the whatever config you experiment
with to be saved, as far as I could see.

2. All of the modules that are required for the basic installation, as
described in 'man lfirsttime', should contain failsafe download locations
just in case the primary is offline for whatever reason. [Could timeout
and retry count also be tweaked so that the basic installation doesn't
block for too long before falling back to the mirror locations?]

"lget lunaric-sound" downloaded just fine for me. Try "man lin" or lin
--help. From there you would learn you can just do "lin -r modulename" to
force a reconfigure of the Y/N questions asked by the DEPENDS and
CONFIGURE scripts.
