I thought that the announcement for the last update to MandrakeUpdate stated that it had moved the storage directory for the RPM's from /tmp to /root. Maybe the code needs some changing to allow for the download only of the files. This would be extremely useful for kernel updates which by nature cannot be upgraded, but removed and installed. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of A V Flinsch Sent: Wednesday, September 27, 2000 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Helix update & Mandrake update On Wed, 27 Sep 2000, you wrote: > > I've given up on MandrakeUpdate as a buggy and annoying program.

I use Mandrake update to connect and check what updates are available. Then I connect with a regular ftp client and dl the updates. This way I get to keep the rpm's in a safe place in case I want to install on a second machine. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life)
