Selecting a mirror on graphical install during installation
Selecting a mirror on graphical install during installation
After having problems with the installer not connecting to a mirror, I'm looking to change the mirror of this happens, but I've looked through the installer and not found a way to do this. How does one change the mirror being used having selected graphical install?

It's in the Debian Administrator's Handbook.
Check out section 4.2.15. Configuring the Package Manager (apt)

Thank you. I swear I had looked there before.RU55EL wrote:It's in the Debian Administrator's Handbook.

Will mark as solved if this does actually solve my mirror issues
Re: Selecting a mirror on graphical install during installat
So the problem I'm having is that booting from USB, every option except "graphical automated install" just reboots the computer. And graphical automated install itself doesn't allow me to select mirrors. I've been through the boot menu and I don't see where I can stop my computer from doing this.

I'm going to try a different stick and see if that fixes things

Which installation cd/dvd are you using? (I realize you are setting it up on a USB drive to boot your computer.)

Even with the non-free firmware install I get the same issue of only being able to boot the graphical automated install

You might try http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.6 ... -DVD-1.iso
From http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.6 ... 4/iso-dvd/
It is 3.7G, but it should have all the files you need for an installation, except non-free stuff. Assuming your USB drive is big enough.

Well, I still got the mystery reboot - I only tried one option other than automated graphical install, I don't know if it would have done the same with the others - but the system installed successfully on automated graphical install and seems to be running smoothly. I think it's probably a faulty USB stick that I have.
