Hello all 

I have been trying this for some time now and can't seem to resolve the
problem. 

Version: Debian stable i386 503 netinst 

Downloaded today as an ISO from the Debian site. 

I get to the point where the installer asks for the mirror and it goes
away and scans the mirror/security/volatile repositories. 

At that point it all stops. 

On the install screen it shows the "Select and install software" banner
with the message "Please wait ..." at the bottom, and it is at 1% on the
progress bar. 

It does this for any mirror I select. I don't believe it is a problem with
my network as my other D503 server updates properly (apt-get update), and
other distros (Centos  to abort, enter "No": 

That is as far as I am getting. 

This is now day 11 and I am getting a little the worse for the effort. 

If I bypass the mirror select the base system installs and grub installs.
But with my very limited knowledge I can't seem to get any further head
with that as I can't seem to install
any other packages using apt-get with
the CD in the drive. Yup, really limited knowledge. 

Can someone please put me out of my misery and point out the error of my
ways. 

Regards 

Fred
