Well, Gio, I think I've ferreted out the cause of my complaint. I re-installed,
all in ext2 but that's not it. Appears to be the Bastille tinyfirewall, which I
configured with all the restrictive, default settings. Upgraded to all the
latest rpmdrake, urpmi, and wget, with the firewall not loaded at
boot==>rpmdrake adds a cooker source. Remove the source, reboot with firewall
loading==>adding the same source stops at the familiar ==>LIST.....Reboot with
the firewall not loading==>the same source now adds nicely again. I would say
the Bastille firewall is getting in the way and I'll report this to qa. Thanks
for your attention to my difficulties; good luck solving yours. Let me know if
there's anything I can check for you.
