Hi,
I have an IPCop box with Update Accelerator and Advanced Proxy. Behind it I have two OpenSuSE 11.0 machines, one of them only recently installed but not updated.
I have seen the IPCop box has a few RPM's stored on it and so would prefer not to download them again.
Do I need to configure the newer OpenSuSE box to query the proxy on IPCop first before going to the net for its updates or will it happen automatically as there is no other way onto the net other than thru the IPCop box?
If I do need to configure it, which file/where etc? I am using KDE on OpenSuSE.
TIA Hylton

lines to /root/.curlrc (as root of course...):
