Debian and apt-get

[Elwood]

Hi all,

I'm trying Debian x86 (before installing on my A1) and I can't install using apt-get because it says:

could not connect data socket, connection timed out

but the FTP sites I put in my sources.list file are reachable. I can ping them.

What can I do ?

Di you use a proxy?

If not you have to insert noting on this question...
Restart the baseconfig an check the values also
for your DNS-servers.

No proxy but I'm behind a firewall. DNS are good because I can ping them using the "text" name.

Anyway, instead of using apt-get, I tried dselect and I understood that not the whole system was installed. I didn't understand it inside apt-get...

I now have installed the system. I just have to fine tune it...

Thanks.

Now, I don't know how to set my beyboard !
Grrr : :evil:  I hate Linux (all distros) !!!!

I found in the howto:
look for a suitable key table starting from /usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386

but there is no /usr/lib/kbd directory !!!

It's unbelievable how Linux is far below AmigaOS !!! Ah !

Found it !

I wanted to use the closest mirror (ftp.fr.debian.org). It doesn't work. I tried the main site (http.us....) and it works.
