Re: Installation over network

Hi
I did a network install of Woody after booting on floppyset. But it
was difficult to find a list over ftp or http sources on the web. I
ended up with downloading from default us-server. (Later i find it
easy to set up apt with national archives.)
Would like if a list was easier to find on debian.org websites. (Link
to a list from the mainpage ?) That would make it much easier for
newbies (and skilled ?) users to start the networkinstall.

I agree, but installing the base from the us-server is probably not that
bad, as you don't have to download so much. During the installation of
the rest you are presented with a really good list of mirrors. Newbies
don't know the ftp.[country code].debian.org idea, so this would be a
good thing to include in the install. But that should go to the
debian-boot list. You might express your wish to the maintainers of
"debian-installer" (the successor of the current debian-boot system).
