403 Forbidden for Wheezy NetInst ISO Install
I'm using the amd64 NetInst ISO of Debian Wheezy. (For the record, I
created a new ISO from it containing an additional driver (bnx) so that
I could get the network drivers up; this seems to work fine.) When the
installation reaches the repository selection, I'm getting 403 Forbidden
errors. I've tried a dozen or more repos with the same result.
I've brought up a console (Ctrl-Alt-F2) and looked at the syslog. I'm
seeing...

403 Forbidden
I've used a variety of repos, this just happens to be the last one that
I used. What is curious is that I can run the following without trouble:
wget
http://cdn.debian.net/debian/dists/wheezy/contrib/binary-amd64/Packages
So why does the installation get a 403 when wget does not?
I've looked at the possibility of a DNS issue, so I changed the name
servers in /etc/resolv.conf to point to Google's DNS at 8.8.8.8 and
8.8.4.4. This had no effect on the problem.
Is there a way to increase the diagnostic level on the installation? It
seems that if wget can retrieve it, the installation should be able to
also. What am I overlooking?
Thank you for your time.
