What I'd like to know is how to not only tell the installer where to get the regular packages from but also where to get the security updates from. Just don't let it update at install time but wait until after first boot when you can hand tune /etc/apt/sources.list alternatively you could edit the hosts file of your firewall so it returns the IP address of your local mirror for security.debian.org remember to make sure your mirror pulls it's files down from a different source.

Ah, this is what I was looking for. Thanks! I knew I had read something about passing parameters to the installer before, I just couldn't find it anymore. I guess I'll try to use my DHCP server to specify a preconfiguration file (http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/apbs02.html.en#preseed-dhcp) with my local mirrors in it as you suggested. If just I had a machine that needed a fresh installation... :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Don't know about the graphical installer, I always go expert as that's what I'm used to and it doesn't install updates. I like the idea of editing the hosts file, if you can't do it on your firewall you can use Ctrl + Alt + F4 (F something anyway) to get to a command prompt, then use nano to edit /ets/hosts and insert a line like 192.168.0.10 security.debian.org I think changes in /etc/hosts take effect immediately but perhaps you could confirm this. You could always at that point just edit the /etc/apt/sources.list but the limited shell you get with the installer doesn't have apt-get so you cant run update and I don't know how else to get it to register the changes. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
