best choice.

Please select an Ubuntu archive mirror. You should use a mirror in your country
or region if you do not know which mirror has the best Internet connection to
you.

Usually, <your country code>.archive.ubuntu.com is a good choice.

Checking the Ubuntu archive mirror
!! ERROR: Bad archive mirror

An error has been detected while trying to use the specified Ubuntu archive
mirror.

Possible reasons for the error are: incorrect mirror specified; mirror is not
available (possibly due to an unreliable network connection); mirror is broken
(for example because an invalid Release file was found); mirror does not
support the correct Ubuntu version.

Additional details may be available in /var/log/syslog or on virtual
console 4.

Please check the specified mirror or try a different one.

   Your installation CD-ROM couldn't be mounted. This probably means
