Re: Installing jessie on laptop from usb live iso
Ok. First things first, I have been able to setup a new usb for netinst. But, for future reference on this issue...
Yes, this happens before setting up mirrors
Also, trying to use the installer from boot menu instead of within live image gave the same type of error, just much faster.
As far as contents of the sources.list, the deb cdrom line that commonly needs commented out was not there. Sources.list.d was empty.
My only solution was to get netinst.iso, and then run the # cp debian.iso /dev/sdX command followed by # sync, which was highly finicky as it did not want to run correctly or recognize host, but it did eventually work.
Now of course my netinst gui installer is telling me bad archive mirror now matter which one i chose lmao.

Can you post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list ?
