Help with apt-get through a proxy
First let me apologize for the seemingly basic question but I have exhausted all the documentation on apt and I don't know where else to turn. What I'm trying to do is to get apt-get to work through a SOCKS firewall. Now, I basically know nothing about SOCKS but I have the IP address and port from the network guys. I've tried various settings of the http_proxy environment variable but I just can't seem to get it to work. If someone could help me along it would be greatly appreciated! Please CC: me directly on your response as I'm not actually subscribed to the list. Thanks, Ian. -- Ian Colquhoun [EMAIL PROTECTED]
