Hi, Pascal:
Thank you for following through here. Well, OK. But this is a very
puzzling choice to make, as Bookworm live images could set up the APT
mirrors, as noted in the same e-mail thread by someone else. Why not with
Trixie? Why assume an offline installation? Why the change? Why break
things if they worked in the first place? It all just seems so
counterintuitive. For now, I will use the Calamares installer going
forward. That does the trick. But if this doesn't change; the decision
that was inexplicably made to not offer network mirrors, etc., during
installation with the "expert" mode (which I now understand happens when
booting directly from the USB and not through the "live install" offered on
the desktop in live images) really should be articulated clearly on the
Debian website. But I really would respectfully suggest (as an end user)
that things go back to the way they were with Bookworm live images (for
Trixie). I can only imagine how many confused people there are out there
dealing with the same thing.
Thank you again.

See message #25 in bug #1110534. It seems to be intentional in live
images installer ("it assumes off-line installation").
