Morning I was just reading up and trying to get urpmi to work properly.. But I cant seem to, I am very familiar with apt-get but I use Debian purely in a server enviroment, and I am now trying to get urpmi to work for my laptop.... I could obviously set up apt-get on a mdk box(I imagine so since it is possible under redhat), however, I would prefer to stay with the tools mdk comes with.
Now what I would like to know. 1. How do I tell urpmi to go around my proxy? And if I cant do this how would I get urpmi to authenticate ? I could always do as follows export http_proxy="http://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/" but that does not seem to allow urpmi to authenticate :\ 2. A list of mirrors, I found a mirror file generator on the net once, and I told it what I wanted, and well as s expected, it generated the mirrors, I pasted them into my /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg file, but then it wont allow me to download the updates, I imagine its something todo with my proxy server here at work ? If anyone can help me here, I would really appretiate it !
