Then I specified mirror.kernel.org but the installer got stuck. It downloaded the package files, but then some error flashed at the top of the screen (something like cannot read files) and then it went back to configuring apt. Specifying a new configuration for apt did not overwrite previous configuration, just appended to it. After fixing the apt.source manually (by deleting first from broken sources), the installation continued correctly. It would make much more sense for the apt configuration step in the installer to overwrite apt files ALWAYS. Otherwise if a mirror is broken, the installation is stuck unless the apt.source is edited manually. It would also be nice to have HID module installed and /dev/input created (for mice, etc.) New Intel and especially Macs use USB. - Adam Install logs and other status info is available in /var/log/debian-installer/.
