I'll need to update the getpkg script to read /etc/tux/config/proxy
and set SNARF_PROXY to that value.

# snarf --help

This is snarf, version 7.0
usage: snarf [OPTIONS] URL [OUTFILE] ...
Options:
    -a     Force active FTP (default is passive)
    -v     Verbose; print anything the server sends
    -q     Don't print progress bars (compiled default is on)
    -p     Force printing of progress bars (overrides -q)
    -r     Resume downloading a partially transferred file
    -n     Ignore '-r' and transfer file in its entirety
    -m     Spoof MSIE user-agent string
    -z     Spoof Navigator user-agent string

Lowercase option letters only affect the URLs that immediately follow
them.
If you give an option in caps, it will be the default option for all
URLs
that follow it.

If you specify the outfile as '-', the file will be printed to standard
output as it downloads.

You can have as many URLs and outfiles as you want

You can specify a username and password for ftp or http authentication.
The
format is:

    ftp://username:password@host/

If you don't specify a password, you will be prompted for one.

snarf checks the SNARF_PROXY, FTP_PROXY, GOPHER_PROXY, HTTP_PROXY, and
PROXY
environment variables.

snarf is free software and has NO WARRANTY. See the file COPYING for
details.

Thanks - I have found some more informations:
A better explanation is in the "curl"-manpage.

And then the "snarf"-manpage tells some special variables - may be  
it's better to set the snarf proxy.

I have tried to set the environment variable "HTTP_PROXY", but bash  
didn't accept my tries.
No "set HTTP_PROXY=...". no "HTPP_PROXY=...; export ..."
"set" didn't show the variable.
Strange.

Where could I define those variables: in "/tux/init/last" or in
"/tux/init/postpkg"?

Or just another place?

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

For some reason there is a problem with exporting environment variables. So anything you set within
linuxrc or the /etc/init scripts doesn't work.

So the solution is to put it within the getpkg script.

The latest initrd.gz from http://trinux.sf.net/snaps/ has the new version of getpkg.

So basically put your proxy setting in \tux\config\proxy (such as http://192.168.1.10:8080) and it
should work just fine.
