Re: Possible to force installing from the mirror instead of the installation media?

I am using netinst. Appreciate the detailed steps listed, but with all
due respect, my question was about how to make the installer install
the base system from the mirror and not the installation media. The
listed steps don't seem to help with that.
@Andrew @Holger @Steve
I take that as it's not possible to force the installer to install the
base system from the mirror? I guess the netboot image probably does
something special.
Guess I'll just have to let the installer upgrade then.

I'm not sure that's the case. I tried running "apt-get autoremove" in
a newly installed Debian 11 with multiple kernels in /boot, no
packages got removed. `apt-cache rdepends --installed
linux-image-5.10.0-10-amd64` (which was the old kernel) showed
"linux-image-amd64" depended on it, so it was not removed. "apt-cache
depends --installed linux-image-amd64" showed it depended on
"linux-image-5.10.0-11-amd64".
