I am setting up debian on an old machine to use as a home fileserver and am having issues installing. I hooked up the network over Ethernet using my laptop's network share and I think the connection is working (is there a way to test this in the installer?) but the installer freezes on "Retrieving apt" and then fails about a minute later.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
sudo ping -c4 debian.org
Also, what version are you attempting to install/?
