Would it be a major problem simply to use a web proxy instead?

I guess one way would be to use a post-base-installer.d script (as Otavio has suggested) and then Debian Edu could remove delete this script. Or we could introduce a config variable, but this is getting more complicated that I originally expected. Any opionions on the best solutions welcome (especially from Otavio, Frans and Colin who see the big picture of d-i). -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
