Hi,
I am trying to get Fink installed in a Leopard system. I am behind a
firewall. I have access only to http, with a proxy. ftp is not at
all
available. I am trying to use the cvs version. Possibly because ftp
option is not available, many fink commands time out. Is there a
solution
to this? Thanks.

If you've done "fink configure" and made sure to set all of the proxy
options there, that's a start.
I don't know if the cvs-proxy package actually works at all on
Leopard, though.
I believe the binary distribution may be your best bet, since that
works via http. Try using "apt-get install" to acquire some packages,
and if that works, then I can give you the address of an unofficial
binary distribution which has packages that didn't make it into the
official one.
