It's useful if you are behind a proxy firewall. :)<br>

Thank you, Romuald - this is helpful! I now should be able to install<br>Xubuntu. Once question: What's the 'export<br>http_proxy=<a href="http://your.proxy:8080'">http://your.proxy:8080'</a> command for? Would it matter if I
<br>didn't run that one?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Harold J. Johnson<br><a href="http://SomethingThatHappened.com">http://SomethingThatHappened.com</a><br><br>On 10/23/05, Romuald Szcze¶niak <<a href="mailto:romek@megapolis.pl">
