Hello,
I bought a new laptop for my brother and I've installed Debian 11.7 on it (with the default Gnome DE), but when (installing from USB stick) I try to select a mirror to
download packages I get this: | Jun 1 09:50:59 choose-mirror[31078]: WARNING **: mirror does not | support the specified
release (bullseye) This has happened with both http://deb.debian.org/ and http://ftp.us.debian.org/ (!) I also tried installing without using a mirror for additional packages, but then apt-get doesn't work because of missing configuration files.
I get the same results with every mirror. The failing command for a typical mirror is e.g.
| wget --no-verbose http://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/bullseye/Release | -O - | grep -E '^(Suite|
Codename|Architectures):'
Help! :-)
you have network access?
Huh. Apparently not. I assumed that the installer would have complained if it couldn't establish a connection, but apparently that's wrong. I will start over.
