How to change the repository location while installing from live cd?
I am installing 14.04 from a live CD. While installing, it downloads updates from the Internet. I see it is currently downloading from
http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/
Is there any way I can change that repo? My company has Ubuntu mirrored on an internal repository, and I would like to use that.
I tried changing in /etc/apt/sources.lst , but the installer doesn't respect that file.

You could try to set the mirror manually in /etc/apt/sources.list, but I'm not sure if the installer respects that file. (Although, why wouldn't it?)
Another approach would be to disable updates during installation, and just set up the mirror once the installation is done.

- First step: add your CD / DVD to the sources list.
Option A: Edit the /etc/apt/sources.list and comment all the repositories excepting the CD with:
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Option B: Use apt-cdrom
test: sudo apt-cdrom --no-act add
If everything is OK:
sudo apt-cdrom add
sudo apt-cdrom ident
sudo apt-cdrom -d "your-cdrom-mount-point" -r
Second step: update with:
sudo apt-get updateNow install the packages you want to - for example
apt-get install packagename

I dont want to use the CD as the update source. I want to download the repos of an internal mirror hosted locally(Saves bandwidth, is ultra fast). Anyway, I installed and changed the download locations later.
