Naturally it must be a valid combination. BTW: That link I gave was of course for 9.2. If you are using 9.1 then substitute 9.1 in the URL. If you are running 9.1, and have never performed any updates from the Mandrake update server, then your urpmi package has a bug which will stop downloads from Mandrake Club working. As a workaround use the command urpmi.addmedia Club --wget http://user_name:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/downloads2/comm/9.1 with ./hdlist.cz If you have an update mirror defined then :- urpmi urpmi will update urpmi itself, and the workaround is no longer needed. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
