I have installed DSL on my second computer and i want to connect to the internet through a proxy server that i run on my first computer. In other words i want to use http,ftp and apt-get through a proxy.

I have read that in debian you just have to add the line
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy:8080";
into a file such as /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy
However the file /etc/apt doesn't even exist. I tried to create it as well as the file named proxy but i didn't get anywhere.

Any ideas?

I tried to add the following lines to /opt/bootlocal.sh and to /etc/profile

export http_proxy=http://my.domain.com:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://my.domain.com:port/
export HTTP_PROXY=http://my.domain.com:port/
export FTP_PROXY=http://my.domain.com:port/

None of them worked.

In a fedora installation that i have i have created two files which i have placed in /etc/profile.d to gain access through proxy. I suppose something similar i have to do in DSL but i can't figure out what...

Those are the files
proxy.csh

setenv http_proxy http://my.domain.com:port/
setenv ftp_proxy http://my.domain.com:port/
setenv no_proxy .my.gateway
setenv HTTP_PROXY http://my.domain.com:port/
setenv FTP_PROXY http://my.domain.com:port/

proxy.sh

export http_proxy=http://my.domain.com:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://my.domain.com:port/
export no_proxy=.my.gateway
export HTTP_PROXY=http://my.domain.com:port/
export FTP_PROXY=http://my.domain.com:port/

Solved

Finally i found it!

I added the following lines in my user's .bash_profile after the export line. Logout, login and you have inet.

export http_proxy='http://my.domain.com:port/'
export https_proxy='http://my.domain.com:port/'
export ftp_proxy='http://my.domain.com:port/'
export HTTP_PROXY='http://my.domain.com:port/'
export HTTPS_PROXY='http://my.domain.com:port/'
export FTP_PROXY='http://my.domain.com:port/'

In Dillo and Firefox you have to add the proxy info at the options dialog in order them to access the internet.

That's overkill. You only need:

export http_proxy='http://my.domain.com:port/'

export ftp_proxy='http://my.domain.com:port/'

Then restart bash ( or source .bash_profile) and Dillo, wget, apt-get will automatically get the variables from there.
