Package: debian-installer Severity: normal Dear Debian Installer team,
Many of us here install Debian using the net install technique, since we've got a local mirror which is pretty fast. But there's just one issue which we face; our connection to outside machines via HTTP is using a proxy which authenticates against a proprietary protocol, which cannot be established without getting other software (by apt-getting). Now, since the server is internal, we choose to manually enter the server parameters. The install goes smoothly, but stops when it automatically tries to download security updates. A simple, inelegant workaround is to go to a console and kill the apt-get process which wants to download the updates, but my request to you would be to ask whether the user really wants the security updates before directly installing them. Thanks!
