I am new to Fedora and am running FC^I. I need to run the software updater,

configured Firefox for proxy and it works find. How do I configure software
updater to work with a proxy server? (I downloaded and installed
connect-proxy rpm, but could find no info on its operation.)

Edit /etc/yum.conf and add "proxy=http://proxyaddr:port/"; (without the quotes) in the [main] section. If your proxy requires authentication, then you're in for a lot of trouble as I have never managed to get yum working with an authenticated proxy.
man yum.conf for more details.
