What's the login process for the proxy? You CAN tell fetch to use proxy's with some environment variables. Take a look at 'man fetch'. There are a number of environment variables. I'm personally not familiar with exactly how you would login your proxy so any information regarding that may help the list to answer your question. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Jesse Reynolds [SMTP:jesser@drives.rta.nsw.gov.au] > Sent: Monday, September 13, 1999 2:42 AM > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: ftp proxy with ports installs... > > Hi > > Is there any way to tell the ports "make install" to use an ftp proxy to > get installation files?
