Debian Installer daily builds use offial mirrors for AMD64

2006-05-18 Thread Frans Pop
Today a new version of choose-mirror was uploaded that contains an updated mirrorlist and also has the normal mirrors as default for AMD64 instead of amd64.debian.net. As AMD64 is not yet installable from testing, this may break network based installations. Installations (in expert mode) of uns

Thanks!Calling "sync" automated every 2 seconds (using watch) only slightly decreased performance, while speeding up the umount process extremely, and giving the feeling that the worst case scenario of an usb storage device being unplugged in the middle of a file transition loses a lot of its effec
