Question on rpm and anologX.

[JANEO326]

Ok just got my Linux Mandrake 7.2 box surfing the net. (Whooohoooo!!!!). Thanks to AnologX. My question is about RPM. I want to download nmap for my linux box, but when I type rpm -vhU http://www.insecure.org/nmap/dist/nmap-2.53-1.i386.rpm . It says its retrieving, but then I get and error that says "transfer failed- Unknown or unexpected error". Is my linux box not going through my proxy? or, Do I have to configure rpm to use it? If so, how do I configure it? What do I do? Thanks in advance. :confused:

If that fails, just downloaded the rpm, open a terminal, go to the directory where the package is located and type, rpm -ivh nmap_whatever_version.rpm. That should install it.
