I'm slightly confused at this point, was there an error? > are we done? What do I do next? I did this over and over. This is a known bug in beta 2 of the installer, fixed in our cvs tree. Just hit cancel to break out of that loop. > Also I wasn't provided with an option to select non-US, contrib, or > non-free. non-US is a dumping ground for software that should have been moved to the main archive over the past two years. contrib is largely useless without non-free. non-free is not part of Debian, and not needed by the majority of users for a useful system. Therefore none of them will be set up or prompted for by the sarge installer. If you need them you can edit the sources.list file manually; the installer has an option to let you do so. -- see shy jo
