Ok well using apt-get through the proxy here at work, finally started working, basically I had to import a global variable I.E export http_proxy="blabla/" Now what I wanted to ask, is how do I create a startup script in Debian, so that whenever the machine is re-started, rebooted or anything like that, that when it boots again that it will get the http_proxy for its global variable ? I.E where do I put the script and how do I make it so that the script is run everytime the machine restarts ?
It may not be the canonical place, but I would probably put it in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
