Hello everyone, I have a classroom in a school that has several donated computers - some Macs, some windows based.
I have a few computers with hard drives or IDEs that are shot and Puppy is a good alternative to getting these beasts going again.
I have no trouble at all at home using port 80, and my sons Windows ME Mistake Edition goes on-line no worries in ram.
The request I have is for someone to help me get on-line when booting in ram only through my schools proxy server while in ram.
When I boot up in ram only I need to get through the proxy settings and I seem to only have port 80 enabled and can't find a way to get to 3128. Is there a way when these machines are not using the HDD in any way.
Thanks in advance.
How to get online through a proxy server?
Maybe this will help? http://blog.vinodsingh.com/2008/09/prox ... linux.html

Thanks for the replies guys.
re - entering the command, where do I enter this (very much a noob at this)
Re: the multisession CD RW. So far no luck, After creating a session with Firefox downloaded as a quickpet, the disk wouldn't boot in the 2nd machine. I'll try it from a different machine later today, but so far no luck.

Bash error
Thanks for your reply
Yes, I thought so and I tried that, I was hoping I was wrong. I received a bash error after entering the text exactly as I saw it. Are there any other things I need to do when entering this script?

bash error
posting the error message would be helpful.a bash error
3128 seems to be the port number of squid.
port 80 is OK?
Then you could try in a browser (I hope it is seamonkey)
Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies
good luck
Code: Select all
$export http_proxy=http://<proxy-server-ip>:<port>Enter the IP address and port number of the proxy server, like
Code: Select all
export http_proxy=http://1.2.3.4:5Thanks again, I'll crack it soon I'm sure
I'll try the script again and write down the bash error if I get it again. Thanks!
I know how to set the preferences through the browser settings, that's not an issue, the problem is that i can't save the settings because the machine doesn't have a rw CD or a hard drive. This is no problem at home as port 80 is default, but at work we go through the squid and NOT port 80. Once I power down at home all the settings are gone so I can't set the preferences through port 80, because there isn't one.
I'm going to try and install a rw CD into the machine and see if I can get the browser to download at home and then open it up at work. Maybe this will work.
Of course I still want try to install the script as see if it works for me it's a good one for the learning curve.
Thanks again everyone, I'll get there sooner or later.

Re: Attempts
What do you mean the disk wouldn't boot? How far did it get? Would the computer not even start to boot from the CD, or did it seem to go some ways toward booting up before giving up?slowdog wrote:Re: the multisession CD RW.

Rw CD
It wouldn't load, gave a blank black screen after going through set up, no sign of x, or cursor, if I remember correctly.
I'll try again in a few hours after the kids are asleep.
Dad's cookin' dinner tonight!!! Poor kids! Hot dog fried rice again... yuck.

the bash error reads
bash: syntax error near unexpected token 'newline'

Re brackets
Yes, sure, I even had my wife give it a proof read first.
It comes up with the # symbol first and then, without the $ sign I typed what was there and spaces included... mystery?

Re: Rw CD
That means the CD actually did boot fine. After Puppy loaded into RAM from the CD, you went through set up, and then everything went black?slowdog wrote:It wouldn't load, gave a blank black screen after going through set up, no sign of x, or cursor, if I remember correctly.
