The way I did it, IIRC, is the following:

1. In minicom (on the serial terminal), make sure USB networking is
   working (using modprobe, ifconfig, etc.)

2. Still on the serial console, set http_proxy.

3. Still on the serial console, run intimate-install. As networking
   is set up to happen over USB, the packages will be downloaded over
   USB from the proxy.
