For selecting the most appropriate download mirror (in terms of geographic location) make a guess on where the user could be located. This guess could be derived from the chosen installation language or the timezone setting (although TZ is set after the base installation AFAIK). Example: If I select German as installation language it's quite certain that I live (am located) in Europe, either in Germany, Switzerland or Austria. Other European countries typically don't use German as their language. Of course if someone living in Australia would want a German installation then he could switch the default mirror (in this case Germany [http.de.debian.org]) to Australia manually. It's just that the majority of users doesn't have to change the mirror by hand. And it saves plenty of bandwith for everyone. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
