Re: Apt-get through proxy

["Robert L. Harris" <Robert.L.Harris@rnd-consulting.com>]

I have 3 machines behind a very slow modem.  I just put a squid proxy
server up.  Once that was running I set these three lines in my profile:

ftp_proxy=http://proxy.rnd-consulting.com:3128
http_proxy=http://proxy.rnd-consulting.com:3128
gopher_proxy=http://proxy.rnd-consulting.com:3128

And now it appears to be using it nicely.
