i tried this way, but it still says "network not found"..I dont know whether
its the NTLM, or the proxy settings in our insti, entries such as :
proxy=[protocol://][username[:password]@]host[:port] just dont work..
yum, wget , etc.. all need something like cntlm [1] to be running in the
background.
