hi, Kapil has asked me to try apt-setup, before using apt-get update.

i tried it but after choosing the mirror for ftp, it gives an error that it could not connect to MY INSTITUTE's ftp site...time out..

i think it has to do something with the proxy settings.

I am following the tutorial at http://gnubox.dyndns.org:8080/~sunil/knoppix.php

In the tutorial the auther has asked to remove the link---/etc/resolv.conf--and to create a new resolv.conf file.

i did this but it doesn't work.

plz help.

thanks, vivek.
