If you mean with Software Manager, I had to go to the list of cooker
mirrors http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 then load
one in Konqueror, navigate to the /updates/8.0/RPMS dir, and then paste
that URL into Software Manager. You're right, it was much easier to
get a list of mirrors with 7.x's MandrakeUpdate. IIRC, the first time
I used 8.0's updater, it did give me a list of mirrors. It was only
when I changed mirrors I had to do what I described above.
