Hi Lester,

I'm using fou4s ( www.gaugusch.at/fou4s/ ) and that works fine - rpm installed first time on 8.0 and ran from the box - using the proxy setting YOU ignores.

Can you tell me what your settings are because I am having as much trouble running fou4s as I am running YOU (& apt4rpm for that matter) despite some significant help from peopel aparently involved in the projects. Do you know what kind of proxy you are using? James C.
