+
+- Component is only selected and executed if the installer needs to load
+ installer components or the base system from the network
+ (either local or the internet).
+- This means you first have to configure a network interface.
+- Mirror selection is delayed until apt-setup for CD-based installs (except
+ businesscard)
+- A list of countries is displayed with the default based on the country you
+ selected earlier.
+- Selection of a local mirror (at top of the list: manual selection).
+- After selecting a country, a list of mirrors in the country will be shown.
+ (not for ftp)
+- Forcing to ftp can be done using "protocol=ftp"
+- Note that not all mirrors are equal (see http://www.nl.debian.org/mirror/list)
+- cdn.debian.net can be a useful catch-all.
+
+- The selected mirror will be tested.
+- How to handle problems with mirrors.
