you've got loops in cooker...go to: ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/ and you'll find that trying to download 100dpi, 75dpi...etc, results in infinite loops...i've checked several other mirrors and found the same condition, so am guessing that it originates with mandrake... would appreciate a fix...thanks, frank -- use http://www.reckage.com for quickly informed browsing
