I had to do something like this: http_proxy=http://<proxy>:####/ HTTP_PROXY="$http_proxy" export http_proxy HTTP_PROXY ftp_proxy=http://<proxy>:####/ FTP_PROXY="$ftp_proxy" export ftp_proxy FTP_PROXY where <proxy> is the name of your proxy server and #### is the port. Also, take a look at /etc/yum.conf and the repository files in /etc/yum.repos.d/ Jeff
