TIA, Maureen The invalid key entry was not a problem with the packages, but you did not have the Mandrake Security Team key in your keyring. urpmi automatically adds the key when you set up a urpmi source, but you have to add it manually if you don't use urpmi. If you download the updates to a local source, also include the ../base directory, because that includes the key and then you can just use urpmi.addmedia
urpmi.addmedia --update updates file://path/to/updates with ../base/hdlist.cz Now keep the local directory synched with a mirror and periodically run 'urpmi.update --update && urpmi --auto-select --update' I am not sure about the boot problem, I'd like to see your /boot/grub/menu.lst and the contents of your /boot directory. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
