I was reading the man page for /etc/installurl. As stated the file is created during installation. I appreciate that the file created is a Canadian mirror and syspatch works out of the box after installation. I am curious. Does the installer pick a mirror that is geographically closer to you? Or does the installer always default to the Canadian mirror? Very happy with OpenBSD 6.4; it is first rate!
Code:
