Dear list, due our proxy fails on most http requests bigger than a couple of megs I'd like to configure yum in that way, that it ONLY uses ftp mirrors. Ftp request pass the proxy without any issues. I didn't find something like useonlyftp=1 in yum.conf so i intended to ask here. any ideas? thanks a lot. cheers, Felix -- ---------------------------------------- Felix Obenhuber Skywan Embedded Software Development ND SatCom AG P.O.
