Please follow the bug reporting instructions[1], and file it
against base-config.

Thanks for helping to improve Debian.

I would file a bug report if I knew where to file it, and against what (what
product desciption) to file it.

If you would be kind enough to enlighten me I will do so.

apt-setup, which is provided by base-config, should prompt for a
proxy if one is not already set.  Would you please file a bug
report against it?

I received this installation report by private mail. He has a problem
using an http proxy during the installation.

Cheers,

I tried an install from the mini CD.
 
It did not give me the option to specify an http 
proxy server, at least I didn't notice it.  As a result when it apt went to 
get things, it worked fine as long as the access was ftp, but when it went to http://non-us.debian.org it failed.  I 
was unable at that point to find a way to reconfigure to include the http proxy 
server that the system is behind.  FTP was not proxied, thus that part 
worked.

I started over, when it offered to configure the 
network by DHCP, rather than saying yes, which previously configured it, but did 
not configure the http proxy server, I chose no.
 
At this point it wanted me to enter my IP 
address..which I cannot do as it is served by DHCP.
 
So I see no way to use DCHP and also specifically 
enter the http proxy server address.
 
Thus the install fails.
