Comments/Problems:
The problem was selecting a Debian package mirror. The first time I
selected: Germany/http://ftp.uni-stuttgart.de
The package list download failed and after that I was not able to select
a new mirror. The list of the configuration steps appeared and I
selected "Choose mirror" again but it immediately tried downloading from
the previously selected, not-working, mirror again.
It seems as if the actual mirror selection does not show up again in
this case.
On the second try I chose Germany/ftp://ftp2.de.debian.org and
everything worked fine!
Thanks,
Michael
