When using yum update to get all the latest packages, I realised that yum couldn’t successful updated. This is because office network is behid the squid proxy.

The steps to get yum operations to use a proxy server is really simple.

proxy=http://proxy.server.com:8080
# The proxy account for yum connections
proxy_username=userid
proxy_password=password
