Problematic install - cannot find mirror
I won't list the entire saga of a problematic install, because it might not be
relevant and I might bury the wood under trees.
I am doing a net install. I cannot find a usable mirror. I have tried at
least 4 in the UK and 2 in Holland. So I can progress no further. Even if I
were to download CD1 and install from it, the first thing I would want to do
would be to update and upgrade. Impossible without a mirror.
I am getting a long list of error messages in pairs. I have copied one pair,
but am not sure in which order they should go, so I may have copied the
second of one pair and the first of the next.

Some of the spaces might be in the wrong places, because I copied the message
down long-hand and then typed it in.
This repeats over all my attempts, with just the details of the mirror
changing.
Any suggestions as to what I can do about this, from RTFM to LMGTFY, welcomed,
other than throw the *$)%%& thing through the window. I *need* this
computer. And I need it yesterday.
Thanks,
Lisi
