If you did , google "yum+proxy" RPM does know how to access packages specified by URLs, but I don't think either RPM or yum know anything about autoconfiguring proxy settings though .pac files. You'll probably have to get the proxy address/port and either put it in the yum config file or export it like: export http_proxy=http://my_proxy_address:port before doing the rpm or yum command. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell@xxxxxxxxx
