Much the same as anyone else. But who cares. This subthread was
hijacked here:

Forget the wiki. And as Brian said, forget this option:
Installer components to load:
[ ] choose-mirror: Choose mirror to install from (menu item)
Work your way through the main menu …
│ Choose language
│ Configure the keyboard
│ Detect and mount CD-ROM
│ Load installer components from CD
│ Detect network hardware
│ Configure the network
│ Set up users and passwords
│ Configure the clock
│ Detect disks
│ Partition disks
│ Install the base system
│ Configure the package manager
… and don't think about mirrors until you get to this point.
│ Select and install software
│ Install the GRUB boot loader on a hard disk
│ Finish the installation
Cheers,
David.
