I won't list the entire saga of a problematic install, because it might not be relevant and I might bury the wood under trees.
I am doing a net install. I cannot find a usable mirror. I have tried at least 4 in the UK and 2 in Holland. So I can progress no further. Even if I were to download CD1 and install from it, the first thing I would want to do would be to update and upgrade. Impossible without a mirror. I am getting a long list of error messages in pairs. I have copied one pair, but am not sure in which order they should go, so I may have copied the second of one pair and the first of the next. <quote> Sept 15 21:15:36 choose-mirror[314171]: DEBUG: command: wget -q http://debian.mirror.cambrium.nl/debian/dists/squeeze/ Release -0 - | grep -E '^(suite|codename):' Sept 15 21:16:16 choose-mirror[31471] WARNING **: mirror does not support the specified release (squeeze) </quote> Some of the spaces might be in the wrong places, because I copied the message down long-hand and then typed it in. This repeats over all my attempts, with just the details of the mirror changing. Any suggestions as to what I can do about this, from RTFM to LMGTFY, welcomed, other than throw the *$)%%& thing through the window. I *need* this computer. And I need it yesterday.
