Then run yum. To make this config bit permanent, create the file /etc/profile.d/proxy.sh and put in it the "export" line i indicated above. Logout/login and it should work. Then all your command-line utilities (wget, links, etc.) should "see" this proxy, not only yum. The name of the file is not critical, just make sure it's in /etc/profile.d and it has a .sh extension. > If I can get it running I may try the rest of your > suggestions - the packages on FreshRPMS look rather interesting...
