I'm not a Debian user, but according to http://panuganty.tripod.com/debiantips/packaging.htm:
How do I set up apt-get to use a proxy to connect? Enter these lines in your .profile or .bash_profile, export http_proxy=http://proxy_host:port/ export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy (The trailing slash is very important!) Also, unless you just mispelled it in your email, "enviornment" should be "environment". -- Owen On Fri, May 20, 2005 at 09:58:21AM -0400, Greg Brown wrote: > I'd like to get apt-get working from within $BIGCOMPANY.
