Package: debian-installer Version: etch beta3 debian-installer naturally tries to connect to security.debian.org but I have a few issues with the current implementation: the connection timeout is too long a user should be able to specify - beforehand in expert mode and as a fallback in non-expert mode: - either an alternative security.debian.org repository which is accessible without additional proxy settings (yes there are LANs where the net-admin allows port 21 out but not 80 out) - or a ftp/http proxy for a 2nd try ideally, the user would be able to specify local mirror or ftp-accessed repos (apt-cacher, apt-proxy, ftp.<TLD>.debian.org, etc.) for main and security network install/update in the installer.

Since this bug was reported the choice between HTTP and FTP mirrors has been reinstated. The bug was turned into "please allow specifying full URLs for the mirror" but I don't think this is a suggestion to consider as it would make the process fairly complicated by first asking for a full URL and then, if user doesn't answer this, go through the protocol/mirror/path/proxy questions Hence closing the bug report. --Attachment: signature.asc
