https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214390 --- Comment #3 from Pierre Pronchery <pierre@freebsdfoundation.org> --- (In reply to Jessica Clarke from comment #2) I agree that it's already too many dialog prompts in the installer. However adding a question "do you want to configure a proxy?" adds one more dialog to the process of setting up a proxy... It is too late to redesign bsdinstall to be ready on time for the next release, but this change would add support for setting up network proxies as part of the installation process right away. Therefore I think the benefit in added functionality outweighs the minor usability annoyance. As reported by the initial submitter, in some environments network proxies are a must (e.g., business, finance, governmental) and other means of deployment may not be convenient or authorised. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
