packages/base-installer/debian/postinst get_mirror_info

if [ -f /cdrom/.disk/base_installable ]; then

else

fi

How logical this really is, I don't know..

Currently we use the same set of udebs on the netinst and businesscard
CDs. Changing that would take some debian-cd hacking I'd not want to do.
So while choose-mirror is nearly useless on the netinst CD, it is
necessary for the businesscard.

Mh. Interesting. I wonder why I have to go to the console to make
this happen... the eject package does not seem to work here...

What's the logic for selection of the base system source repository?

Umount and eject the cd after installing choose-mirror.

choose-mirror on CD?

2004-06-20 Thread martin f krafft
What's the purpose of choose-mirror on the netinst CD? I can select
a mirror as much as I want, the base system is still installed from
CD, I can't access net-retriever anywhere, and in base-config, the
previous mirror selection is not taken into account.

So why is it there?
