OK thanks. The tex live wgetrc says it is OK to put your own in  
$HOME/.wgetrc.  The error I get is

[mateng041:~] mmurray% tlmgr --gui
Cannot read any package from http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb 
, seems not to be a TLPDB!


Maybe this isn't due to being unable to connect via proxy ??  Is there  
something else that causes this.

Thanks - Michael
