When one tried to install via ftp, drakx asks for a username and password for the server. When one installs via http, it doesn't. I can't use it to access the mirrors. (mandrake.redbox.cz for example), so I just assumed it was a login problem or something.

It looks like something has mistaken aacton as the password, and actually [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the password. Maybe my example is confusing. Just do an ftp install, then try to use urpmi right away. It doesn't work. I think it should. If for no other reason, it would look professional. Austin -- Austin Acton Hon.B.Sc.
