Somebody above mentioned that there is a bug in the debian installer and you need to manually give the proxy. If not what am I supposed to enter there. First page on the proxy says that if you need a proxy to access the outside world..... The format on this page is "http://[user][:pass]@host[:port]/" So I gave http://172.16.4.104:3142/ # I never gave the trailing / before and now its working. Feels great to see the packages retrieved at the speed of light. Now if I use this as preseed string will it work? ### Mirror settings # If you select ftp, the mirror/country string does not need to be set. #d-i mirror/protocol string ftp d-i mirror/country string manual d-i mirror/http/hostname string http.us.debian.org d-i mirror/http/directory string /debian d-i mirror/http/proxy http://172.16.4.104:3142/ #This line? ### It should work right? Now I ran into some other problems. Only a few computers are able to find the PXE server Not all. Is there a limit on the number of machines that can be installed at a time using a PXE server? Thanks for all your support! I finally got the apt-cacher-ng part working. -- Regards, Anubhav Yadav Imperial College of Engineering and Research, Pune. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
