Will this interfere with running setup -gM using an "unofficial" last-mirror to skip to the package upgrade/selection page? There are a bunch of distro mirrors that are not "official"/listed publicly: many unis and local UUGs mirror distros on publicly accessible hosts, that are not on distros' mirror lists, probably because they don't want any extra admin, support, or network load. -- Take care.
