Problem is it doesn't matter what I enter, it adds /stable and so on anyway. I don't enter that, it's the installer that adds it. I need to find the config file that base-config reads from so I can edit that. >> Also, manually editing sources.list didn't quite do the trick either. >> Don't know quite how to enter the information correctly so apt-get finds >> the files it needs. >> >> Any hints are appreciated! > > I believe woody used boot-floppies and I'm trying hard *not* to remember > how boot-floppies worked. ;) > > The sarge installer was debian-installer--based, which means you should be > able to point at a random mirror. > > I think non-US died with etch. In any case, it's also on archive. Installing is no problem, with the old boot-floppies and so. I just don't know how to enter details in sources.list so apt-get and tasksel can get the packagelists. Though, I'd like to know how to start the debian-installer from the amiga side and I'll have a go with sarge instead. I honestly don't know how I'm supposed to do that.
