This is most likely the reason of your missfortune. The net installer
is in its beta incarnation. Obviously is failing in your particular
case. I would suggest to get perhaps some iso from
http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/download/
or choose another net installer stable (woody) from
http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/
1. Install then a very bare minimal system, afterwards
2. su
vi /etc/apt/sources.list
3. change all stable entries, write instead testing, or unstable.
4. aptitude update, or dselect update, or apt-get update
5. upgrade
6. enjoy
7. feel remorse for your bad thoughts about debian
8. cry and learn for a week
9. come back and help others
