[newbie] proxy setup on install of 7.1

[Andy . Paton]

Hi,

My first question to the list, (probably first of many!)

Installing Mandrake 7.1 x86, a question is asked about the http and ftp proxy.
Which application does these setting correspond to?
Which files is this information stored?
It does not affect Netscape Navigator so im just wandering why?

thanks

Andy
