When I first tried to instal CVSup, I really had a hard time in doing it...after a long time of research using Google and Netscape Search...I stumbled on a Thread that mentioned about how fetch's honors the HTTP and FTP mentioned in one's environemnt...Since FreeBSD has set me up to use Bourne Shell ($, I hope I am right)...I then put http_proxy=http://192.168.1.5:10080/; export http_proxy ftp_proxy=ftp://192.168.1.5:10021/; export ftp_proxy in my .shrc file located my directory and I was able to download and install the cvsup Port...I thought that finally I can use cvsup and install all the Ports that I need...it turns out that...Yes, I was successfull in installing Sylpheed, but no I could not download and install the ports vilearn, kinput2-canna, but again I was successfull in installing Canna, and Eterm. Now, I do not know why I can download some Ports and can not on others... Rommel B.
