Ok, I downloaded sid net installer CD iso image, got into the base config, then failed in the apt configuration.
I get the error message "Failed to access the Debian archive", on all the mirrors I was able to select. Admittedly, I did not try every single one, but 10 or 12 of them, both in US and Germany.
I confirmed I am connected to the internet with ping of other hosts out there.
Can anyone help me get past this problem? It appears as if it's not finding the files it's looking for when it tries to query the sources.
drop to a console and type in wget http://www.bresciani.ca/~jbresc/amd64-sid-sources.list
put this in /etc/apt/
the apt-get update should work now
the ones in the installer never work for me.
or manually enter sources and use the following (which is what is in my sources.list file)
deb http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64 sid main contrib non-free
