Thanks, I tried the textual install, so yes the first option to manual 
add the debian mirror,

must have missed it in the graphical install.

Anyway, as for changing the list, I suspect unlikely the list comes from 
sources.list,

surely the installation will WRITE the sources.list based on your selection.
