Either look at the install CDs, or browse one of the on-line Fedora
repositories, or be lazy and pull a:
yum list system-config*

export http_proxy="http://your.proxy.here:8080"
(Replace proxy hostname and port with the proper settings on your
network.)
Then run yum.
To make this config bit permanent, create the file
/etc/profile.d/proxy.sh and put in it the "export" line i indicated
above. Logout/login and it should work.
Then all your command-line utilities (wget, links, etc.) should "see"
this proxy, not only yum.
The name of the file is not critical, just make sure it's in
/etc/profile.d and it has a .sh extension.

You could install those packages manually, but yum makes the whole
process orders of magnitude simpler and faster.

Glad to hear that.
