Not sure about tweaking. It does mean that the update, upgrade, and probably other scripts for the classroom and the EAC machines need to be modified. Those have a line that specified the proxy. If we now use a transparent proxy, that line can be removed or commented out. Will need to update the build notes, too: http://wiki.bworks.org/debian_etch_install?s[]=proxy And modify the config files that contain references to a proxy. Then there's Iceweasel on the classroom image. It's not that big of a deal. Folks just need to be aware that when Iceweasel or the updates don't work that they should be thinking of the proxy. Or is there an easier way. For example, something that intercepts the 192.168.1.2:3128 proxy request and automatically forwards it to the real proxy. Regards, - Robert
