Let me first say, thanks to you all for the help, it is truly appreciated. That said, I must say how frustrating this whole process is being. It is hard to believe that simply getting the latest updates for ML 9.2 is this difficult, arcane, and truly byzantine.
I did finally get the urpmi.setup window open from the command line but.... The GUI window which opens simply offers me a plethora of choices with NO indication of what is needed or or wanted in any of the fields. I have no Idea what to do with the various buttons. That is completely ignoring the fact that the program remains completely unavailable from my GUI. I went to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php and followed the "instructions". Once again I was offered a multitude of choices for every step with no indication of what might be best. I simply selected the already highlighted choices and got, along with a great deal of command line stuff: retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "plf" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.plf.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "plf" unable to update medium "plf" So I tried changing the mirrors at random. This produced another batch of command line stuff followed by: retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "updates" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "updates" unable to update medium "updates" So i tried yet different mirrors and got a similar batch of command line stuff followed by: retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "main" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] problem reading synthesis file of medium "main" unable to update medium "main" After several more of these attempts It has started downloading something but I have no idea what. It is about half through downloading whatever it is. Should I assume that what it is downloading is what is needed, and if so now what? I really do appreciate all the help. However this entire process is very daunting to the newbie. There has got to be a better/easier way. Thanks. LTR }}:{( [EMAIL PROTECTED]
