Comments/Problems:
Everything was OK during the installation, but the retrieving of the
package for the base system. I mistype the name of the proxy
during the configuration, and I have not been asked again for entering
the proxy name. As a consequence, the download always failed...
So, in case of error during this download, the user should be prompted
again in order to give the good information.
Thanks for your job,
Olivier
