It's not really the speed test that matters to me actually. Having a quick and simple way to change/switch sources.list would be nice. > cheers, > Owen. > > [1] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors Actually, the installer already does that, I guess it's part of the debian-installer. The problem arises of for whatever reason you don't have connectivity ta install time, setting up apt breaks at that point, leaving you with the standard main repo and cdrom. You then have to do it manually afterwards. Maybe the installer script can be re-used?

Re: select mirror

select mirror
Just read this post: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-select-fastest-mirror-in-ubuntu.html I was wondering what the way of work would be to do this by commandline? For me, a test of 'fastest' mirror isn't even really necessary, I would be satisfied to just have a list of local (National) mirrors to select from, e.g. depending on which ISP I am.
