Thanks for checking, Charles.  My schedule does not allow me to work
on it until tomorrow evening.  However, can auto-apt-proxy be
specified during mirror selection with a netinstall?  That is my
primary need and use for approx.

A friend gave me his old Windows XP machine.  I installed on it Debian
12 with XFCE desktop.  I intend to use it to replace an old machine on
which is installed Debian 9, running a mail server (getmail) and an
approx server.
