Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

During the install setup, this question should apear before accesing the repositories:
Desired repository is: local server (default) or main server ?

The local repository may lead to a faulty install in some areas
so allow the user to make a new install with the main server if that happens.
I had this problem in intrepid beta where my country's repository was not updated
with all the packages I requested and I had to select the main server.

The cdimage.ubuntu.com Intrepid beta DVD was using the main repository server and by
the way -> had far fewer errors then the Intrepid beta CD. Are they released differently or what ?
