Well, it is not really the same module as it is called in two completely different places in the installation process (though the main code is shared of course). Ah, this is why d-i does not detect it. As it only happens in 'expert' mode it's ok to have-to-know what will happen if you select the module but confusing the first time to someone else. I can live with it as d-i is excellent in other ways compared to Anaconda for example. My actual wishlist-item is supporting ftp:// access to network repos. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Strange. You really would need to explain the exact sequence of actions you ran to get to this. - start installer in expert mode - when asked for Installer Components to load select choose-mirror - you will be asked for repository-information twice - on a 2nd install I saw that you get repo-info questions (choose-mirror) even if you don't select choose-mirror to load, so it's a little logic error it seems that happens when you select choose-mirror which is only a a little irritating, no real problem. > > would it make sense to change the bug-report's package to > choose-mirror?

Bug#383611: choose-mirror
update: being able to select choose-mirror in expert mode helps a lot but it still does not allow specifying ftp:// instead of http:// access. therefore, let's reduce my problem set to: - allow complete repo url specification in choose-mirror btw, as I had to enter the repo-info twice I'm not sure it was choose-mirror that was being called twice or another module the 2nd time although it looked the same. would it make sense to change the bug-report's package to choose-mirror? so, depending on the bug-tracker's feature we should maybe close this bug and I will re-open it for choose-mirror instead. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
