Hello, I'm trying to use APT_CONFIG to obtain a specific setup for guets user : export APT_CONFIG=/home/guest/apt.conf The file apt.conf contains something like Acquire::http::Proxy "http://www.test.com/proxy.cgi:8080/";; but this is ignored by apt command ie. 'apt-get update'. I had a look to the man pages ..etc.. but find nothing expect the mentionned syntax... So how to use APT_CONFIG ? Thanks for any clue. Bye, Bruno
