ive been trying to install debian, from the netinstaller. all goes fine dhcp works, partitions fine, installs fine then it asks if i want to configure the package manger, which of cause i do, so i select New Zealand FTP, and get this error on a red screen [!!] Configure the package manager Bad archive mirror, the specified Debian archive mirror is either not availble, or does not have a vaild release file on it. please try a different mirror. then gives options continure or go back, if i click continue i can choice another mirror the same way but regardless of which i choice i get the same mirror if i click Go Back it allows me to manually enter the address but yet again the same mirror any suggestions on what to do
Try pressing ALT+Right (or ALT+F2) and enter (via vi or nano) in /etc/apt/sources.list Code: deb ftp://ftp.belnet.be/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://ftp.belnet.be/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib deb ftp://ftp.belnet.be/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb-src ftp://ftp.belnet.be/debian/ stable main non-free contrib deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main and just skip the "setting up apt" step
well this machine is pissing me off no end, i tried what you said but i had to make the apt directory myself and i am pretty sure there is other files in there, so i thought what the hell ill give it a go anyway to recieve on the attempted reboot grub loading ,please wait Error 15, anyway im off to have a bit of a chill before i kill this machine
