I loaded PUPPY onto a computer in my office that is linked to a Linux server through SQUID proxy server. The system works great, linking to the network was way too easy. Everything is great.
but...
When I try to use PupGet, it tells me to log onto the internet... But does not give me any way to input proxy server info.
What to do???
Does PUPGET only work with direct internet connection????
How can I use PupGet through proxy server?
Pupget uses wget.
So wget should be set up to use the proxy.

you could try putting something like:
export https_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
export http_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
export ftp_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
(use the correct ip and port numbers of course)
in /etc/profile, (or better still, in /etc/profile.local if you are using Puppy 1.0.5 or newer) and rebooting
if you need an id and password, you should be able to put them in /root/.wgetrc
or something like
export http_proxy=http://id:password@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
might work
see: here
export https_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
export http_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port
export ftp_proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port

yes, unless you configure wget to use the proxyDoes PUPGET only work with direct internet connection????
this is one of the advantages of the dotpup system
if your internet browser works, dotpups work
the dotpup system deliberately uses what is already there for it's user interface (why reinvent the wheel?)
You don't have to only use the PupGet package manager to get the files. They can be downloaded from the ibiblio.org FTP directory with any FTP program/web browser. The md5sums are all in one text file there too. Then use the PupGet package manager to install from local files. I'm not running Puppy currently so forgive for not holding your hand through the details.

In your post of 20th Oct 1.00am you mentioned DotPups rather than PupGets!
While I recognise you can download PupGets any way you like and install them as local files, I wonder if you can do the same with DotPups?
I only have dial up at home so do my downloading at work - Is it possible to install a DotPup package from a local file? If so, how?

Actually DotPups are designed specifically with this purpose in mind.ICPUG wrote:I only have dial up at home so do my downloading at work - Is it possible to install a DotPup package from a local file? If so, how?
Just download the DotPup file, and using the rox file manager just click on the file name and the installation will start.
The DotPups reside in the wiki pages http://www.goosee.com/puppy/wikka/dpup.
Mark (MU) created the DotPup Installer to simplify the search for DotPup packages. The installer actually goes to the wiki pages for the list of packages.
