Unable to get any of the install scripts to work: Packages could not be found

Hi there

I've tried to install debian on a GoFlex 2TB that is already running Arch. I've tried NUMEROUS mirrors and always get the same error:

"E: Couldn't download dists/squeeze/main/binary-armel/Packages"

Can anyone help with this? I'm tearing my hair out here!

Thanks in advance,

Looks like you're installing Squeeze. Is the instruction you followed in this: http://projects.doozan.com/debian/ ? Note that the instruction shows wheezy script as the recommended script to run.

I tried both, and eventually got it to work from the rescue system, after having to manually download, extract and write-protect debootstrap 1.40. I can't get it to boot right now, but I think that's due to some funkiness with the kernel image, we shall see.
