During system installation from a Desktop LiveCD (10.10) I checked the "Download updates during installation" option.

Before starting the install I had configured an apt proxy server; this had been used correctly for my various package installs prior to launching the system installation GUI.

However, the downloads taking place during the installation are not using the proxy.

Is there a way to force usage of an APT proxy during installation?
