Dear Maintainer, please include the package "cntlm" in the netinst ISO image. We are behind a NTLM proxy and we need it to get internet access. Currently, I have to stop with my minimal system, download the .deb from packages.debian.org via a Windows computer, put it on an USB stick and install it by hand on the new Debian machine. Then I proceed by apt-get'ting my desired packages. This is not quite optimal. I am fine with a solution that installs the package, so that I could switch to a different console, configure cntlm, and continue the installation. Bonus points if the installer asks me to configure cntlm ;-) Regards, Kevin --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mahr GmbH, Goettingen http://www.mahr.de | | 37073 Goettingen | Germany Geschaeftsfuehrer / Managing Directors: Stephan Gais / Ulrich Kaspar Sitz / Site: Goettingen, Register HRB 2507 UST-IDNR / VAT ID-No.: DE115299942
Hi, Kevin Bube <kevin.bube@mahr.de> (2015-08-03): This package doesn't seem to come with a lot of dependencies, so it might be possible to patch it so that it supports building an udeb, which is a package meant to be used within the installer. It would probably make little sense to have it be used/configured by default, but having it around so that it's available from expert mode would probably fit your use case, right? I'm copying the maintainer and the debian-boot mailing list to make this request a little more known. Mraw, KiBi.
