Hi Peter, no you didn't misunderstand me. Indeed, this was the question I hoped to get answered, but the things Andrew told me, have also helped to solve the problem I had, but from another more backgrond point of view. But of course I would be glad, if someone could tell me, why some of the US based mirrors found on http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ offer the non-US ISO image, thought they theoretically were not allowed to do so, at least before the law in the US was changed. So I wonder, if the debian project could be made responsible for refering to these mirrors. Regards, Harald
