fedora yum with proxy

as stated in my previous post, i'm using a limited connection. yeah it sucks but recently it became suckier (lol). the it department that handles the internet connection decided to close port 443 for default internet connection. n they ask us to use proxy for internet use.

with port 443 blocked, i couldn't yum install anything. at first i downloaded any required packages manually. but when i have to download every dependency manually, it really starts to bother me. so i searched on how to yum using proxy

my googling result leads me here

...which really makes me feel disappointed at myself for not googling this prob 1st. the workaround for my problem was just to edit /etc/yum.conf and add proxy=http://(proxy server address)

and just like that my problem was solved.

*sigh* T_T
