#170201 — Installation issue

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi there, I've tried to install from Internet but during the process I get
across choosing a mirror, after I choose it it takes me to a screen with a
title "choose a mirror of the debian archive" in. which I'm ask to enter
"HTTP proxy information (blank for none)", since I'm using a Wi-Fi
connection and haven,t got a clue what information is that I leave it blank
but, it always shows me a "bad archive mirror", please HELP

Blank for the proxy is fine. It's likely the error is before that.
Here are the responses I select. See how they compare with yours.

Configure the package manager
Use a network mirror? yes
Protocol for downloads: http
Debian archive mirror country: United States
Debian archive mirror: ftp.us.debian.org
HTTP proxy:

Cheers,
David.

Yes, HTTP over FTP as the latter doesn't always work well or at
all through firewalls.

And is the computer actually connected to the internet ? Can you
ping debian.org or whatever from the machine you're trying to
install Debian on ? If not, go back to the "configure the
network" step in the Debian installer.

For a shell to type the ping command in, try [ctrl]-[alt]-[f2],
[ctrl]-[alt]-[f3] and so on. To go back to the Debian installer,
[ctrl]-[alt]-[f1], if memory serves.

Or Alt+F5 if the installer is in graphic mode.
Note that you don't need to press Ctrl to switch from a text console.
