I have a doubt. How do people find the IIT-M FTP mirror for distros?
At least for Ubuntu it has not been listed on the ubuntu site [0] (in
their list of mirrors).
[0]: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors
iitm is an archive mirror, not a cd mirror; so, you will find it listed at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
i am not an ubuntero, but i believe what this means is that if you want to start
installing, you have to download the cd installer image from one of the cd
mirrors (or borrow an installer cd); once in the installer, if you choose
network install, ftp.iitm will show in your list of locations from where you can
download packages to install.
