[tex-live] install from behind firewall

[Kirk Wesley-QWK000]

Hello,
 
I am trying to install tex-live on a Suse Linux machine using the
command "install-tl". I am getting this output:
 
Installing from: http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008
<http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008>

unusable location

, could not load any packages
./install-tl: Could not load TeX Live Database from
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008
<http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet/2008> , goodbye.

 
I am assuming this is because the install program is not aware of my
proxy settings. I am behind a corporate firewall. Is there any way to
give the installer the proxy settings? If not, is there a better
alternative to ordering a DVD? 
 
Thanks,
Wes
