There's been a fair amount of churn lately. You probably want to grab a
more modern installer. While we're talking modern, maybe give the
memory stick boot a shot:

I seem to have zero notes on what I did to get my own stick going, so it
must have been fairly painless -- well, something about not actually
need an iso image on it. I know I did the "hard way" instructions
because I was using 128MB stick. IIRC, I grabbed a tarball out of the
installer maze or maybe mounted an ISO and copied stuff from that.
For extra points, figure out how to add an /etc/hosts entry on the stick
for your apt-proxy server and report back.
