If not, can I replace it with the stock debian mirror? It is probably more accessible in China than the Fastly CDN and probably the image creators are in China so they used it. Other than that it looks like a normal working Debian mirror: https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-info/nanomirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn.html https://mirror-master.debian.org/status/mirror-info/neomirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn.html > And there are a few .deb packages that come pre-installed but are > not present on that mirror.

This is pretty common, although it would be nice if those config changes were either not necessary or included in Debian itself. > Also, the installed system uses zram files for swap and /var/log . > This is probably to limit the space the distro takes up on an SD > card, and it works OK, but it's not what I'd expect from a "stock" > Debian install. Debian has two different zram packages for enabling swap, docs: https://wiki.debian.org/ZRam > It would be interesting to know where those .deb files reside when > their at home (i.e. is there a repository that could/should have been > included in the sources.list ?) This makes me think it is deb.odroid.in: https://wiki.odroid.com/?q=sources.list&do=search -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
