Hello, On the tl-installer page there is no mention of being able to select your own download mirror to use.
In the past I have just let the installer select a mirror not actually knowing that one can be passed to it on the command line. Typically it has chosen an Australian mirror and it has taken me 1 1/2 hours to install. This time around, I passed this option to the installer: ./install-tl --location http://mirror.aut.ac.nz/CTAN/systems/texlive/tlnet/ This reduced the insallation time to 40mins total. This may well be the case for people in other countries as well. I think it would be a good idea to add this option to the page. The list of mirrors can be found at: http://ctan.org/mirrors Regards, Christopher. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
