Yes, after running any such tool it has as a choice, it should ask if you want to run another when you exit, each time, and have the alternate choice be to proceed with installation. I accidentally hit enter out of habit so it ran taskel for me but I didn't want to, then later I had to find a way back to choose another option. It would be more convenient the way I describe. > > 2. had a lot of problems finding a mirror that didn't error out on > > package requests over http through proxy. would be nice to mark the > > ones in the list that are "certified" by debian to be up-to-date and > > stable. > > I thought this would work with all mirrors... I tried us.debian.org, debian.org, rutgers.edu and had problems with them (lots of http 400 errors); I believe I tried a couple others and had the same problems. uchicago.edu and udel.edu seemed to work fine for me. I did not have any problems connecting to the sites themselves in a browser (also through my proxy), but Debian was having problems. Also I remember seeing "not in gzip format" errors (as if it thought .../packages was supposed to be .../packages.gz). > > 3. had a lot of connectivity problems with security.debian.org. > > ... are you sure you didn't have connectivity problems yourself? > I haven't heard of any big problems with security.d.o recently. Well, I know I was able to connect to security.debian.org in a normal browser through my proxy just fine, but Debian was getting a lot of http 400 errors and possibly others. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
