Package: debian-installer Version: etch beta3 debian-installer naturally tries to connect to security.debian.org but I have a few issues with the current implementation:
the connection timeout is too long a user should be able to specify - beforehand in expert mode and as a fallback in non-expert mode: - either an alternative security.debian.org repository which is accessible without additional proxy settings (yes there are LANs where the net-admin allows port 21 out but not 80 out) - or a ftp/http proxy for a 2nd try ideally, the user would be able to specify local mirror or ftp-accessed repos (apt-cacher, apt-proxy, ftp.<TLD>.debian.org, etc.) for main and security network install/update in the installer. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
