1 Hi
2 I am having problems with emerge working during installation.
3 I have Pentium4 with HT PC, and tried to install gentoo-2005 twice,
4 eveything was fine ,hardware was easily detected, but network did not work
5 well with proxies.
6 I did
7 $export http_proxy=http://spsingh:passwd@proxyserver:3128 but links2, emerge
8 do not work.
9 they give error 407 Authentication required, that is connects to proxy
10 server but cannot authenticate me. However I can links2 to internal webpages
11 which do not require proxy.
12
13 More on this, I am currently running ubuntu,
14 when I do the same thing in it, *wget does not work but apt-get works.*
15 To get wget to work I have to do in addition to exporting is
16 wget --proxy-user=spsingh --proxy-passwd=passwd http://whatever.whatever
17
18 Please help me. I wish so much to try gentoo out. Is there a way to check if
19 emerge works without having to go through half of installation so that I do
20 not have to waste time again.
21
22 Thanks
