Robert You must have missed my reply yesterday. That source you are using ftp://ftp.wtfo.com/pub.linux/mandrake/updates is not a valid ftp address. Just enter it in the URL line of a browser and you will see. Try another one. I use this one ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS It is nice and fast. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
