Description of problem: During installation I am invited to enter network settings, all but proxy settings. Sitting behind corporate firewall I immediately experience problem when adding alternative repositaries URLs - repo test fails. Next, during firstboot I have an opportunity to enter my proxy server data but these are never reflected in yum config (in Firefox properties neither). Yum.conf file is misplaced. After copying it to /etc/yum/yum.conf I am ignorant of necessity to maintain both copies. Yum man page does not contain directions on proxy line syntax. Only by hit-and-miss way I found it to be proxy=http://proxy.server.com:3128 . Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum 3.2.0 How reproducible: Every f7 installation in LAN behind firewall Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: proxy connection is not configured during installation. Yum configuration after installation is non transparent. Expected results: Installation process is complemented with proxy connection settings. Yum man page is appended Additional info:
I mean yum.conf man page of course...
Proxy can also be set in yum.conf and this is specified in the man page
