Yes, HTTP over FTP as the latter doesn't always work well or at all through firewalls. > Debian archive mirror country: United States > Debian archive mirror: ftp.us.debian.org > HTTP proxy: And is the computer actually connected to the internet ? Can you ping debian.org or whatever from the machine you're trying to install Debian on ? If not, go back to the "configure the network" step in the Debian installer. For a shell to type the ping command in, try [ctrl]-[alt]-[f2], [ctrl]-[alt]-[f3] and so on. To go back to the Debian installer, [ctrl]-[alt]-[f1], if memory serves. -- André Majorel <http://www.teaser.fr/~amajorel/> Discriminating spammers prefer bugs.debian.org.
