Yes. > I execute a shell. I create the directories > #mkdir -p /etc/apt/apt.conf.d NO. Stop there! :) Don't open a shell. Just proceed to the next step in the installer and enter the proxy information as asked. The Debian installer will do all that for you. NOTE: if you insist on manually creating the directive then do it in /target/etc/apt/apt.conf.d as /etc during installation is not /etc on the machine you are building. <snipped, but not checked> > > When I boot a client from tftp, and I select the amd64 label on the > installer, many pages on the installer are skipped.
