We need to be offered this during a netinstall. I did a netinstall yesterday, and as usual was offered my bhoice of mirror in the UK. I chose my usual because over the years it has been fast and reliable - though I have a regular second choice for when needed. I would more than happily have chosen httpredir.debian.org had I been offered it. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
