[Bug 1045950] Re: Quantal ubiquity lacks the ability to set an HTTP network proxy

[Erick Brunzell]

Dmitrijs,

I hadn't thought about that, and I've personally never used anything but
the amd64 and i386 images so I can't be sure about arm*, powerpc, or
*64+mac, but my thought is that the installation would still complete as
a "Broken Internet" install:

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/testcases/1313/info

Then I'd think the proxy could be set post-install, and updates could be
applied at that time. Is that a reasonable assumption?

Another potential option for corner issues would be using either an
Lubuntu or Xubuntu alternate image to perform a CLI install, or even the
mini.iso.

Title:
  Quantal ubiquity lacks the ability to set an HTTP network proxy

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is probably not a big deal but I'm trying to be thorough since
  we're dropping the alternate images.

  How important is it that those behind  a proxy can no longer set it
  during installation?

  I've not had to deal with that in nearly a decade ;^)
