Jam it would have been nice if you had responded in your first thread; rather
than start 3 new posts. You didn't need to reformat to fix your sources list.
That said; See if this URL helps (you'll need to scroll down a bit);

Folks:
Jam replied off list and indicated he's a rookie and didn't respond in the
other threads, because he couldn't understand the Jargon I/we used.
He clarified (in off list email) that the proxy issue is when he starts the
install NOT during. Perhaps someone can help him with that -- It appears the
University has a proxy that he needs to deal with in order to install Debian
from the net install.ISO
