Sorry for the "top reply", but mt pocket pc doesn't indent history.
I'm sure you could place in browser checks (make sure it is IE for example)
and place a link to the java rather then just executing it.
The webpage could state:
'To setup the proxy on your browser do this, this and that, or click here
to have it done automatically'
Cheers,
Scott

This is a bad idea.
apt-get install something
...
error - corrupt data.
Don't do. It's worse than hijacking the sessions into a proxy in the
first place.
