Hello again John, and thanks for your response.
I didn't think I was being ignored, rather possibly that my questions
left people at a loss.
The update to which I was referring is the "Mandrake Update" in the
Software Management section of Mandrake control Center.
I've been getting notices from Mandrake virtually daily informing me of
important updates. Therefore once I got URPMI set up, I think, I thought
the first thing I should do was the update. Perhaps I was mistaken. I
know that a dial up connection isn't ideal, but it's what I've got. My
ISP is a small, local operation and very accommodating. It is nearly
unheard of to get cut off by my ISP even after 10 hours or more of
logged on time.
I wasn't trying to update OO, but, OTOH, I don't really know what I was
trying to update other than trying to keep my installation of Mandrake
9.2 up to date.
Since posting my first request for help on this issue I've realized that
my main menu is now quite truncated. It has a total of 10 primary
listings or groups of listings. I don't for example have a run command
in the list. Many of the groups also have far fewer listings than
previously. The only thing listed under "Office" is "Address Books" and
"Time management". Networking now only has about four sub groups. There
is no instant messaging for example. More importantly, There is also no
listing for opening a console so doing anything from the command line is
literally impossible as far as I can see. And as I said in my first post
I have no sound. I've tried everything I can think of to get it back but
no success. All of these things combined would appear to indicate that
there are more difficulties than no OO.
Do I need to return to Easy URPMI and update the information? If so What
should I select and what should I leave unchecked? Providing I can find
some way to open a console,can I continue to copy information from that
site into a console with no ill effect? I guess the answer to that is no
seeing as I've already managed to mess things up pretty well.
Once again thanks for all the help!!
