Hello.

I have been trying to install Debian 6.0.1 amd64 version, with a
firmware netinst iso (from
http://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/

), and, at the package manager setup stage, every mirror that I have
tried within Australia, and a couple in the USA, return the error
"mirror does not support version (squeeze)".

Please advise.

Thank you in anticipation.

I can confirm that my local optus, netspeed, transact mirrors, and the
monash uni mirror are all up (amd64). I suspect the installer might be
asking for something weird.. did you choose http or ftp?

If you still have access to the install at that point:-
When you open a vt (F3) what is the installer asking the repositories
for? (from memory F7 will take you back to the installation screen).
