I just installed a lot of packages, and since I didn't want to download hundreds of MB via my dial-up connection, I took my PowerBook to school and hooked it up to the LAN. I had to specify the proxy by IP address because there is no DNS in the LAN, so I set $http_proxy to "http://192.168.10.1:1019/";.
However, when trying to download any packages, dselect complained that it can't resolve 192.168.10.1. After some experimenting with different values for $http_proxy, I worked around this, by going to the NetInfo Manager, and added an entry with name=192.168.10.1 and ip_address=192.168.10.1 to /machines. This worked, but it's quite ugly. Did I make some mistake? Or is it a bug in dselect?
