Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Proxy for auto-updates?

2011-03-16 Thread David
Totally new to Solaris  Thought I'd try Open Indiana live DVD inside a VM. Question:  How do I configure the package manger/updater to use an http proxy? The package manager may be something of a moving target -- I don't have a http proxy to test on, but the instructions here aren't
