Folks:
Jam replied off list and indicated he's a rookie and didn't respond in the
other threads, because he couldn't understand the Jargon I/we used.
He clarified (in off list email) that the proxy issue is when he starts the

University has a proxy that he needs to deal with in order to install Debian
from the net install.ISO
