Can you elaborate about your problems with apt from the live DVD?thanks for the update @f33dm3bits, though I suspect it will be 2 years or so before release. Bookworm is working great here.
I will caution those who try to install via the live usb image that I encountered problems with the apt sources list provided by that method. But the net install image worked great.

I prefer to use the default "generic" top level domains at "deb.debian.org" and "security.debian.org" in the sources.list file rather than point to a specific mirror. Something wasn't right. I noticed it on Sunday, the day after the release. When I looked inside /etc/apt, the sources.list file had some URLs that were a specific, but randomly chosen mirror ... and not a particularly good one, either.

I filed a bug report and several others have also. But for now if you want a fully functional system it best to install via the netinstall image or the full dvd/usb image not the live one.
