 It uses wget, so you'll need just to set your HTTP_PROXY env variable, in
 either ~/.bashrc or /etc/profile

[newbie] Updates via Proxies through a Firewall

1999-12-05 Thread Brian Schroeder

I have recently installed my first Mandrake Linux (I have had some
experience in the past with Redhat), and thought I would try installing
the updates.  Unfortunately, it can't get through our firewall.

How do I make it use the http proxy (I assume it is using HTTP)?
