Hi guys
First install, and I bumped into a slight problem. Welcome script failed on apt-get update, cuz the device is behind a proxy and no proxies were defined. Maybe an idea to add setting proxy to the setup so no need to go through extra loops?
Cheers

Doesn't it ask for proxy info as part of the Debian install?

That's odd. I've done two new installations today. Neither asked me for proxy details.

Have you tried the ncurses (non-graphical) interface?
Offline
Nope, HoaS, that I haven't tried. It'd be nice to have on the graphical install as well.

Perhaps try the "Advanced Installer"?
I don't like the graphical version so I'm not sure what options that has.

I just did a new installation with the text-based installer. Again, no queries for proxy. Problem comes when choosing a repo, I have to bypass that to get the system installed and add proxy afterwards.
HoaS, I don't see much actual diff between the graphical and text-mode installer. Same options presented differently.
Advanced installer might be the way to go. However in this day and age I really can't see how a proxy is something "advanced". It's an integral part of modern networks, and as such should be part of a basic installation. Default to no-proxy for home users, but ask for it nonetheless.
unless this is not what OP was meaning
Sorry, HB, that image is wayyyy too small for me to see jack...
EDIT
... and another text-based installation today, without proxy request... so no, I don't see it...

I didn't see that I got prompted for a proxy either. apt.conf was bad too. I used the graphical installer. It kept failing because it couldn't find a CD even though I was using a USB stick. Ended up burning to a DVD and a miracle occurred.
Digging the new crunchbang though so worth it

That error occurs if unetbootin or similar is used to transfer the ISO image to the USB stick.
You should follow the recommended procedure:
