[wplug] Core 6 Package Manager Problem Resolved

[Weber, Lawrence A]

Thanks for all the help with my FC 6 package manager problem.

I was not able to get it to work locally (files from CD) but I was able
to get it to work over the net.

I had use the GUI (Systems, Preferences, Network Proxy) to set our
network proxy and authentication values, so I assumed yum and the
package manager would have those values. I was wrong.

After setting the http_proxy value, I was able to get yum to work from
the command line.  The app I needed and all dependencies installed
nicely.

The Package Manager GUI still does not work, I probably need to set the
proxy and password someplace else.

Now to get the USB ports working with my CompactFlash reader/writer.

This event has reminded me how long I have been using Linux and how
little I still know about some very fundamental things.

Thanks again.
