Package: choose-mirror Version: 2.44 I use a mobile broadband device to connect my computer(s) to the Internet. When I tried installing "Debian wheezy-DI-rc1 i386 1" onto my NEC PowerMate, it failed to connect to the Internet. the Choose Mirror stage failed, it stated that the mirror was not working.
After installation, my computer connected to the Internet, but the file /etc/apt/sources.list did not contain the right data. The line about security.debian.org started with a "#" and so does not work. The mirror which I chose, is not mentioned at all. I would prefer that the line "... security.debian.org ..." work by default, and that the mirror which I chose be shown in the sources.list file, and also work. I attach a copy of /etc/apt/sources.list from my NEC PowerMate computer. I can, of course, edit the file myself. However, some people, not familiar with Debian Linux might not do so. Please modify the programme choose-mirror, so that it actually records, in /etc/apt/sources.list, the mirror which the user chooses. Please also arrange that access to the chosen mirror, and to security.debian.org is enabled by default. If there is sometimes some reason to not enable it, then please have choose-mirror ask the user at install time. Thank you very much for maintaining choose-mirror. Best regards Richard Betham
