Hi; What's the address you're using, and for which mirror Margot? Some tree structures are possibly changed due to the complete release of 9.2, and the URL may have to be changed to reflect that. This happens because the mirrors are a voluntary thing, and some only keep the trees for the most recent 2 versions, others move them to the "Old" directories or drop them altogether. Please post the URL you're using and I'll see what i can come up with, OK? Or someone that has a clue (unlike myself <g>) will. Regards; Charlie P.S. The following compound command as super user or root will do a complete database and menu update for you, then reload the configuration: rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus && ldconfig <enter> C. - -- Edmonton,AB,Canada User 244963 at http://counter.li.org Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 kernel 2.4.22-21mdk 13:49:44 up 4 days, 1:55, 1 user, load average: 0.13, 0.24, 0.29 I must have slipped a disk -- my pack hurts! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/tUJiG11CaRuZZSIRApYaAKCttNqspC1VcYUETeAnhqOqRH0axwCfZb7c m7Ny1sFZrkZBiFxVDUM3yrU= =zsyG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
