    If you are running Sarge then put the following into your /etc/apt/sources.list file:

    # See sources.list(5) for more information, especially
    # Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
    # CDROMs are managed through the apt-cdrom tool.
    deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
    deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free
    deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

    # Uncomment if you want the apt-get source function to work
    #deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
    #deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free

    See http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap...basico.en.html for more information and read the apt-get man pages.

    The installer should have had you configure apt, but since apparently something went wrong run "base-config", select "Configure apt", choose a method (http or ftp), choose stable, testing or unstable, choose whether you want non-free software, then choose your country. It should then give you a list of mirrors to choose from.

    Okay, Demetrius's method would probably work too, but mine's easier.
