Dear Jeff,
I've made some changes in the text for the FAQ on the garnome homepage. Do you think it's usefull ? I'm willing to put some more work in it to keep it upto date. As it might be quite usefull if the most asked questions are in there.
Best regards
Stef
item 1
<li><b>Can I save Bandwith by using a proxy ?</b></li>
<p>Yes, there are 2 posibilities to accomplish this</p>
<p>1 Start the build using the following command make http_proxy='http://proxy.mynetwork.tld:8080/' deep-checksum</p>
<p>2 Add this line to the gar.conf.mk file in the garnome root folder
export http_proxy=http://proxy.mynetwork.tld:8080/
In both cases you will need to adapt the "proxy.mynetwork.tld:8080/" to point to your own proxy server or your ISP's proxy server.
Method 1 works only when you start the build like this, so you will need to start the build like this every time. The second time will last until you download a new version of garnome.</P>
item 2
