kdewin-installer-gui and a proxy

[Jeff Schiller]

Thanks Ralf but this didn't work.

I keep getting "...Add Mirror..." in the GUI.  My password has some
special characters, so I even tried URL encoding them...

It also keeps coming back with a "Can't find C:/temp-kde4/config.txt

Any other suggestions?

Jeff
