RPi2 Install Script

[jerrm]

I'd recommend something like the below be added. It adds some (very) basic checks for download server accessibility before proceeding with the install that assumes all is OK.

For the Pi specifically, I've seen multiple incidents where the mirrors are down.

Today, pear.php.net seems to be down(not Pi specific).

Hate to say it but installing open source code over a Thanksgiving weekend is asking for trouble. We're dependent on dozens of other folks' servers, and they're all eating turkey or watching football. Yes, we could add additional checks but it still won't change the fact that the install is gonna fail. Either way, you'll have to start over on Monday morning preferably after California wakes up. Sorry.
