 what to do?

I have to download via http, not ftp. I assume you are
using http too? I think the syntax for setup is
apt-setup. Make sure you try the http settings in case
your ftp is blocked.
 
 
 i'm not verry fund of these things, so I'm going to
 try to make it as clear 
 as possible. The default operating system at my
 school is running microsoft 
 windows 2000. After we installed it all we have to
 do is define proxy 
 settings in explorer, and the internet works for us.
 172.x.x.x:3128 and 
 voila internet is availble.

Internet Explorer obviously is using http, so I hope
this helps!

 The screen which prompts you for a proxy mentions you have to enter it
 by using the standard notation: 
 
 So, you need to use the following:
 
 http://172.x.x.x:3128/
 
 Do not forget the trailing slash, otherwise packages download will fail.

Keep also in mind that the proxy may need a password
or another authentication enforced by the proxy.

Sure. I didn't want to be too confusing to Mr n.v.t n.v.t. and as
(s)he didn't mention (s)he had to enter a proxy user information I
guessed that none was needed.

For proxies which require authentication, the correct syntax is:

http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/

Again, don't forget the trailing slash. This is a known bug in
base-configĀ in sarge/testing : apt-setup fails if no trailing slash is
mentioned. Moreover, if you had to specify a proxy in FIRST stage
(because you use a businesscard installer image), the proxy
information *without* trailing slash will have worked there...will be
re-used in 2nd stageand will fail here.

A fix has been attempted in base-config for that but is only present
in the unstable version of it.

Joey, any chance to bring this fix into sarge's base-config?
