Hello all
I have been trying this for some time now and can't seem to resolve the problem.
Version: Debian stable i386 503 netinst
Downloaded today as an ISO from the Debian site.
I get to the point where the installer asks for the mirror and it goes away and scans the mirror/security/volatile repositories.
At that point it all stops.
On the install screen it shows the "Select and install software" banner with the message "Please wait ..." at the bottom, and it is at 1% on the progress bar.
It does this for any mirror I select. I don't believe it is a problem with my network as my other D503 server updates properly (apt-get update), and other distros (Centos & FC) install on the same server.

You should only proceed with the installation if you are certain that
this is what you want to do.
tzdata
Do you want to ignor this warning and proceed anyway?
To continue, enter "Yes"; to abort, enter "No":
That is as far as I am getting.
This is now day 11 and I am getting a little the worse for the effort.
If I bypass the mirror select the base system installs and grub installs. But with my very limited knowledge I can't seem to get any further head with that as I can't seem to install any other packages using apt-get with the CD in the drive. Yup, really limited knowledge.
Can someone please put me out of my misery and point out the error of my ways.
Regards
Fred
