Bug#249667: would like to install from local mirror
Package: installation-reports
Severity: wishlist
I decided to test the businesscard ISO image in hopes of being able to
take advantage of the automatic kernel selection present in that
version. Using the 20040517 businesscard ISO image:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/daily/i386/20040517/sarge-i386-businesscard.iso
I was only able to select a mirror from the provided list. I want
to be able to enter the URL of my local mirror to install from there
instead.
I don't see any obvious way to do this either on the system (even with
debconf priority low) or in the installation manual.
For now, I'm going to go back to using the netinst install (since I
can switch to a local mirror easily once I'm in base config), but this
means I won't get the ability to choose a kernel and will end up with
a non-SMP 386 kernel.
