I have presented the installer's main menu in an earlier post. There is no option for choosing a mirror before partitioning is offered. Now I may, of course, misunderstood what is happening, or not seen a menu item, or failed to delve deeply enough into the options offered. But there is a 'Configure the package manager' option after installing the base system - so why have the same thing twice? > The technical evidence is in the empirical data referenced in the article > of an experienced, regular user of this list. This is technical evidence? The only evidence you should be satisfied with is what you can obtain and verify for yourself. So do it. Run a Wheezy netinst installer inexpert mode. You need go no further than loading the installer components from CD. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
