Oh, I can change it now, I know. And I may get round to doing so. But it wasn't offered during the installation - and one has to choose a mirror before it will move on. I think for Stretch they should just use the redir and not offer the others. It causes a delay in the installation while it waits for the answer. (Not much, I hasten to add. The whole installation before I added a DE took 15 minutes.) Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
