This is a corrected version of my last message:
Hello All
I'm trying to reinstall Debian onto my Asus that only has 4 GB internal storage.
I have a CD installer that I downloaded and used to install it onto an  
external SD card on that computer a few months back.
There is not enough storage internally to copy the installation on the SD card 
to the 4 GB internal drive.
Now while installing on the Asus from the installation media, I'm at the point 
in the installer that it wants the mirror for the repository.
I select US and then I've tried both the FTP and the HTTP options and neither 
work.
I've tried it with and without the Ethernet cable attached, because I 
successfully connected to my WIFI at the beginning of the install, and when the 
WIFI possibly failed, I tried the Ethernet.
So I've been looking on-line and found a lot of entries for the sources.list 
file, but nothing for this part of the installer.
I am wondering if it is because the version I'm installing from is 12.something 
and now I think Bookworm might be using 12.4.
But it tells me I can edit the sources.list in console 4, but I don't know how 
to get to a console in the installer.
If I could skip this part, I would, and just add a sources.list file later.
I've tried to SSH into it, but that may not be possible during the install.
Or alternatively, does anyone know how I can skip this step for now?
It only will back up using escape to the country selection for the repository.

Thanks

Glenn
