This is a corrected version of my last message: Hello All I'm trying to reinstall Debian onto my Asus that only has 4 GB internal storage. I have a CD installer that I downloaded and used to install it onto an external SD card on that computer a few months back. There is not enough storage internally to copy the installation on the SD card to the 4 GB internal drive. Now while installing on the Asus from the installation media, I'm at the point in the installer that it wants the mirror for the repository. I select US and then I've tried both the FTP and the HTTP options and neither work. I've tried it with and without the Ethernet cable attached, because I successfully connected to my WIFI at the beginning of the install, and when the WIFI possibly failed, I tried the Ethernet. So I've been looking on-line and found a lot of entries for the sources.list file, but nothing for this part of the installer. I am wondering if it is because the version I'm installing from is 12.something and now I think Bookworm might be using 12.4. But it tells me I can edit the sources.list in console 4, but I don't know how to get to a console in the installer. If I could skip this part, I would, and just add a sources.list file later. I've tried to SSH into it, but that may not be possible during the install. Or alternatively, does anyone know how I can skip this step for now? It only will back up using escape to the country selection for the repository.
