I successfully use the: Add a line like this to your /etc/apt/apt.conf: acquire::http::proxy "http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port";
method. -----Original Message----- From: Moroni [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 11, 2003 1:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: apt through proxy Importance: High I have read the export http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables method and I've tried it.. it works for Lynx but not for apt-get. the problem I have is that my proxy required me to authentificate in a domain/username form. How can I do that to get apt-get working through my Proxy server?
