I run freebsd 5.4. At office I compile my ports of interest smoothly, like a charme with a mere "make install clean" from behind a proxy which I have once and for all defined in /etc/make.conf as in these 2 lines:
FETCH_ENV = HTTP_PROXY=http://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080 FETCH_ENV = FTP_PROXY=http://userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080 In a nutshell: no problems! INSTEAD ... When I run sysinstall and want to download some sources from ftp.it.freebsd.org, it seems (and it is logical) that the make.conf is of no help. In fact, when I click the media, selecting FTP I'm faced with at least 3 solutions: FTP server FTP passive FTP behind a proxy and none of them seems to ask for something like userid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:8080 but at most proxy.domain:8080. What FTP server should I select and HOW should I set the proxy with userid & passwd up?
