My Mandrake Control Center is broken and so is my urpmi. The "Mandrake 
Control Center" will not run .... until just now! I don't understand. I had 
something similiar on cooker with konqueror and galeon, as well. Neither of 
those programs wouldn't work no matter how many times I reran the program or 
rebooted the computer. Just one day ...it works! Like just now. I tried urpmi 
and that is still broke. it supposedly puts the packages into the directory 
/var/cache/urpmi/rpms but I receive the following error:

su -c "/usr/sbin/urpmi.update -c"
Password: 
the entry to update is missing
(one of Installation CD (ftp1), Contrib CD (ftp2), Update_Source, plf)

...This is getting real silly. Now urpmi works! I think it has something to 
do with "fam" running. Maybe I should leave my computer on for a few hours to 
allow all scripts to finish running. (I should have something was "fishy" 
when the harddrive light was constantly blinking for like the longest time. I 
think that is the reason I couldn't do anything involving some privileged 
programs like drakconf and urpmi. Anyone else experience the same effects?
