Hello Tony. Thanks for your reply in answer to my problem that I could not get urpmi or the Control Panel Software Management to recognise the new sources I had entered.
I removed the old ones, and entered them again when connected to the Internet, as you said I should. It now works - at least in the Control Panel. I haven't experimented with using urpmi to install packages, yet. Manual package installation is even better now that I have replaced Kpackage with Gurpmi, as Derek recommended. I am only running the "Download Edition" of Mandrake, as I want to check it out. I am not very pleased with the latest version of my current distribution, and am thinking of changing to Mandrake. If I decide to change, I will buy the boxed set. Thanks to the help from this list with a couple of "teething troubles" I have had, Mandrake has gone up considerably in my estimation! Very many thanks for your help. I greatly appreciate it. Cheers Keith On Monday 18 Nov 2002 1:49 pm, Tony S.
