No access to debian.org

[Craig Anthony]

Dear Debian team,

hello

I have recently installed Linux Debian and during installation I was
unable to subscribe to any mirror whether here in Australia, the U.S,
Germany or any mirror I have tried. After installation I have web and
LAN access to anywhere except for any debian.org site.

During installation I was instructed I was unable to access a mirror
resulting in not being able to get official updates and to investigate
further. Also was the address of /etc/apt/sources.list. I navigated to
the folder and clicked on the file which launched the update utility.
After updating began after file 16 the utility could not get any further
information on updates. There were 24 in total. Attached is a copy of
sources.list.save. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would like
to investigate Debian from Debian and not having to boot to windows or
Ubuntu to have access to debian.org services or web sites.

The P.C in question has an Intel Celeron 1.7GHZ processor with 768 meg
of RAM. It has an Intel 845GL chipset.

All else so far O.K. Performs relatively quick for what it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Kindest regards
Craig Anth

I think this is not a problem with debian-volatile and so it belongs to
debian-user

Hi,
As because the installation was from a DVD the installer can not setup
the connection during installation though the sources.list file was
created with proper address of mirrors,you could not be connected with
mirrors.So the line "# Line commented out by installer because.... ".
But you should have access to any site including debian.org after
installation and link/net setup.Check the connection and then open
http//www.debian.org and http://www.debian.org/mirror/list.
If it is found OK then try with Synaptic or aptitude(preferable in shell
use 'aptitude update' and then 'aptitude safe-upgrade').
Your sources.list file is OK.

Best regard,
G. Nath.
