Hi,

     Thanks for the suggestion, I've now got it to authenticate....it's just my
apt source
paths that need fixing now.....

back to the playing....

BTW, when authenticating to the proxy, when normally I would login with say
domain/luscombes
(substitute domain for you domain), I had to invert the / to \ for it to
work....

this is my (working) apt.conf line:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy.my-company.com:8080";;

so you probably have to write

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://luscombes:<password>@msproxy:80";

check if you can configure your linux browser to use the ms proxy; if
you can't, apt won't probably work either.

hope this helps.

pietro.
