Thanks for doing all this great work !!! Can't be said enough. However, the point is, *during* install (when System -> Administration -> Software is not available yet !), it is checking the security repository and probably some more. This in effect means that if I install a 7.10 cd in 8.02, it is downloading quite some stuff during install. But, for people with slow lines, who have local repo, this is a waste of time, especially if you want to set up many machines. So, what I do, is I install from a cd, with network unplugged. Only after the full install and reboot, I plug in the network. Then I change sources and do agu (apt-get upgrade && apt-get update) It would be good, that, similar to entering a http proxy, that an alternative repo could be given. It's a wish :-) Cheers, ace -- possibility to specify alternative repositories during install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207630 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
