How can you look for a Mirror without a Net connection?
A net connection can be of any sort, I.E. Dialup, etc.
But it must be working properly before you start Mandrake update or you are
SOL.

Every time I start MandrakeUpdate it looks for a net connection which BTW I
don't have and states that it can not find a mirror and then exits. How can
I get it to not look for a mirror so that I can set the preferences?

Hi,
In the File->Preferences dialog you can set the source to Disk which would
point to a local directory of the RPMS.
I do this quite a bit because I
have multiple Mandrake installations and I NFS export the set of RPM's
one of them downloads and have the others point mount it to keep from
re-downloading the same RPMs. I've also had success using the Network
option with an ftpd running on one of my boxen that has a Mandrake mirror.
