https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D214390 --- 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 rele= ase, 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. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
