Well, yep that was what i found out today. Apparently my apt.conf file was called apt-conf. I don't know why or how i changed it. Anyway, i knew after installing lynx that everything worked allright (as i reported earlier) and that the problem was apt-get related, in my case the conf file. So i tried to export the http_proxy var and bling, apt worked. Then i went back and thought that the filename might be wrong. Now it works and next week 'm going to adjust a skeleton program so that aps starts in the background (it's not programmed to be started as a daemon but adding a & will help :)) and when the server goes down, that the daemon is properly stopped. Next week i'll probably look into making a user in AD with i can then use for the aps program so i don't have to use my own username & password. Anyway, thanks to all those who have been helping! Much appreciated. Regards, Benedict -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
