    My AAONE is finall attached to my home (cable) LAN. Browsing the web using a HTTP proxy running on another PC works. (The proxy is configured in firefox network preferences).

    Now I would like to use the AAONE LiveUpdate, but this fails, because it does not know about the proxy (ok, how should it?).

    Any ideas how I could make liveupdate use the proxy?

    Thanks

    You can follow these steps

    - Alt+F2
    - Type " terminal "
    - Type " sudo su "
    - Type " export_http_proxy=http://your_proxy:your_port
    - Type " online update "

    now all works fine

    See youuuuuuuuu :)

    Code:
    sudo su
    http_proxy=http://your_proxy:your_port
    export http_proxy
    yum remove (etc.)

    yum actually worked, but liveupdate did not connect

    (the text command to run it is "onlineupdate" btw)
