[mdlug] ssh or telnet in kubuntu or apt-get thru proxy?

[Ron Blanchett]

to get apt- to work through a proxy just do the following from a command
prompt

export http_proxy="http://ip or name of proxy:port/"

apt should now work.

you can add this to your .bashrc file to have it load this at login.
