This is with 2.2.9-2000-03-30.... I've been playing around with the potato boot disks to see how things go. When you get up to selecting your apt sources, I have specified I want to use http and I want to specify my own mirror as the source. The problem I have seen is that I can enter the name (or ip) of my mirror for main, contrib & non-free but when I get to the non-us component, the installation automatically selects non-us.debian.org which is not what I want.
