RE: apt-get ftp sites
It would seem that I need to use the form, http://user:pass@server:port/ .
However, it appears that the MS proxy server doesn't like this method.
Probably due to not being authenticated through a login into a MS Windows
box.
OK. I just got off the phone with the proxy system admin. The problem was
with the proxy server. I can now get out to http sites. Thanks to those
who helped.
One more request. Can someone e-mail me the recommended apt-get http sites?
Again, thank you. -mk
