How to add proxy to Yum (Fedora)
Posted: 04.25.12 Filed under: Software Installation Leave a commentIf you’re behind a proxy and have no way to set system-wide proxy settings (think LXDE), you can always edit the yum.conf file, located in /etc.
gksu /etc/yum.conf
Add this line to the second line from the top
proxy=http://your_proxy:port
and save.
