Package: Installer on Debian Sarge Version: Sarge (Debian 3.1) Stable I have opted to manually edit the /etc/apt/sources.list file on an initial installation to point to a local debian mirror.
I notice that the installer still attempts to go to security.debian.org even though I never explicitly put that in the /etc/apt/sources.list file. This is a problem for some areas where there is either none or tightly restricted access to the outside Internet. There is no clarification within the installer on Debian Sarge as to why the installer is trying to go to security.debian.org even when there is no explicit entry in /etc/apt/sources.list. Nor is there any opportunity (or clearly indicated one) for one to enter proxy information during the install. Mark Allyn
