Hi, Fred 1 wrote: > hope I can change it and rebuild the netinstall ISO with jigdo maybe ? Jigdo is not suitable for making changes to the ISO which it reconstructs. (It is rather suitable for reducing the download effort with ISOs which are slightly changed towards an ISO which you already have. See the question "Files to scan:" of program jigdo-lite.) If you have files which you want to add to the ISO or if you want to replace existing files of the ISO, then maybe https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/08/msg01170.html is of help, where i propose how to override a kernel and an initrd in the ISO. As mentioned in that post, there is the possibility that checksum lists or certficates let the booting system detect that existing files were altered. Your mileage may vary. Have a nice day :) Thomas

It would be nice if I could manually add a custom one during install, but I didn't see such option, strictly just pick from the list I can only answer the last of your questions: If you want to add a custom mirror during the install, go to the top of the menu and choose "enter information manually". The installer will then ask you for the host name, path and proxy information of your custom mirror. Scroll near the end of https://masysma.lima-city.de/37/debian_i386_installation_reports_att/m6-d11a3-i386-netinst.xhtml for screenshots of the respective dialogs. It is from an an alpha release of the installer but the dialogs should not differ too much from the final one. HTH Linux-Fan öö [...] pgpuHOOoPciDc.pgp Description: PGP signature

What is the actual problem you are trying to solve? The best answer might not have occurred to you. Read https://xyproblem.info/ -dsr- 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. Thanks

Then you can entry or edit the mirror in the file /etc/apt/sources.list. You can also use deb.debian.org as debian repo in this file. Doing so, it will try to find the nearest mirror in your place automatically. For more information take a look into the documentations. Have fun!

how to change debian installation mirror list?
I would like to know where the installation pulls the list of Debian mirrors. hope I can change it and rebuild the netinstall ISO with jigdo maybe ? It would be nice if I could manually add a custom one during install, but I didn't see such option, strictly just pick from the list Thanks
