Greetings Slinky ones, I have just installed apt. Alas, I'm wedged behind a firewall, thus I need to use an ftp proxy.
The dpkg --info apt-0.1.9.deb says "see the Users Guide in /usr/doc/apt/guide.text.gz"a Alas. There is no such beastie in the package. There is a /usr/doc/apt/README. Q1. Is this README the same beastie (renamed?) as the guide.text.gz? man sources.list says the following.... ftp The ftp scheme specifies an FTP server for the archive. APT's FTP behavior is highly configurable; for more information see the ftp.conf(5) manual page. Alas, ftp.conf(5) is not part hamm. Q2: Which slinky package need I d/load and install to access this ftp.conf(5) fountain of wisdom? Thank 'ee kindly.
