it does? I'm running beta 4 atm, clean install and yet /root/.wgetrc is empty (it exists, just 0 bytes) > What it does not do is to set proxy user/pass (see recent thread). the proxy here doesn't need one... the lan is set up so that any traffic heading out through the gateway to a port 80 gets redirected to a page saying to use the proxies for web access... I don't know if that would make a difference (I don't think it does), but I thought I'd include that for completness sake Also, > the latest version of rpmdrake forces urpmi to use wget even if curl is > available. ?... I'm _certain_ mine was using curl... Or do you mean a version after b4?
