Hi,

I'm behind a University proxy on port 80, and I can't seem to get Fink 
to download through it.  I use a proxy of "host-here.edu.au", port 8080, 
which is set in the System Preferences and works okay for browsing the 
web with Omniweb or IE, but 'wget' seems to be stumped by it:

[pe-207:~] ken% sudo apt-get update

We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these two things:

         #1) Respect the privacy of others.
         #2) Think before you type.

The same results happen with fink instead of apt-get:

===============================================================
[pe-207:~] ken% fink fetch xfree86-base
sudo /sw/bin/fink fetch xfree86-base

Anyone have tips?  Thanks.

p.s. - is there a *searchable* archive for this list?  The Geocrawler 
archive doesn't seem to have a searcher, so I couldn't research this 
properly.
