Thanks, Charles. Actually I tried all of the above, but still got some errors from my script. Must be a bad script. Nevertheless, Patrick got his problem solved despite my attempt to help. Now, on a lighter note : I followed Tom's advice and downloaded *urpmi.setup* from Cooker and installed it on my 9.0 box. - What a wonderful gadget ! Removing, changing and re-installing sources is now a piece of cake. Thanks a lot Kaj Haulrich. =========================================== Powered by Linux - Mandrake 9.0 Registered Linux user # 214073 at http://counter.li.org Source : my 100 % Microsoft-free personal computer. ===========================================
