Bug#388572: debian-installer won't let me select a local apt-proxy mirror
Tested with today's i386 netinst image from:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-netinst.iso
Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot i386 Binary-1
(20060921)
As with earlier snapshots/releases, I had no difficulty entering my
local apt-proxy in the "Configure the package manager" step. The secret
is to scroll to the top of the list of countries and pick "enter
information manually". Enter the address and port of the apt-proxy
server at the "Debian archive mirror hostname:" prompt, using the IP
address if DNS will not resolve your local server at this point.
Example: 192.168.1.200:9999
Accept the default /debian/ for the Debian archive mirror directory,
unless you changed it in apt-proxy-v2.conf. Leave the HTTP-proxy line
blank unless there is an actual HTTP (not apt) proxy required for your
network. The provided apt-proxy 'mirror' will then be used for the
distribution archive, while security updates come from
security.debian.org by default. --Don
