Mmm... sure? ;-)
debian.net ! debian.org
I think that should be
debian.net != debian.org (?)
:)
As sure as I can be without moving round the world and after reading
http.debian.net. But it is easy for you to test for your country. We'll
wait in anticipation for your report. :)
I had tried every mnirror listed in the available mirrors for Australia,
in the options listed, and I had tried several USA mirrors listed for
the USA.
None worked.
No mirror appears to work for the installation.
That is why I seek access to ISO images that I can download, to try to
complete the installation from optical disk ISO images, rather than from
mirrors.
As Debian 5 can not be updated from Debian 5.0.10 (the latest version of
Debian 5, from what I understand, released in February 2012), if I can
access Debian 5.0.10 ISO images, then that should give me the latest,
and, last possible, updated version of Debian 5, and the system then
would not need to worry about mirrors, and, having the
/etc/apt/sources.list file just listing optical disk ISO images as
sources, should be adequate.
Or, so I believe.
