Hello everybody,

I have just installed Debian 9.8 in VMware for studying and learning this great distro. While installing it, I did not choose any network mirror as I wanted to learn how it is done from command line. Naturally, after installation, I could not update the system or install any software before editing the /etc/sources.list file.

Now comes the problem.

I am a resident of India and I wish to use a mirror site which is geographically closer to me. I found such a mirror site from the mirror list provided on Debian's official website (mirror.cse.iitk.ac.in). But I don't know how to set proper path of my selected mirror so that updates and software packages could be downloaded from it. I don't know what path I should insert into the /etc/sources.list file to configure the mirror site successfully.

I have already tried inserting the following line -

deb http://mirror.cse.iitk.ac.in stretch main contrib non-free

But apparently it doesn't work like that.This throws an error namely -

'Temporary failure in name resolution!'

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for the help. But I would like to set up the mirror mentioned in my query. I don't want to use Debian's default / original mirrors. I've seen the links given by you. Unfortunately they don't discuss this particular aspect. Any ideas?

Have you tried using netselect-apt command using option -c for India region as accepted answer in second link I shared in answer above ? Also check whether system is able to access internet using ping command. Thank you.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that. Apparently the command 'netselect' is not installed on my system. Since I did not configure a mirror at the time of installing the system, I can't install it with apt. So back to square one again. For clarity's sake, I would like to learn how to manually insert mirror paths in the sources.list file (from the mirror found from Debian's website) instead of using the command line magic. So please feel free to suggest more ideas. Thanks again for your kind help.
