Baby steps.... OK let me see if I am grasping what we are doing here. Hope this isn't too long winded but I'd like to know vaguely what I'm doing here...
urpmi.removemedia main then: urpmi.addmedia main ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz removed the http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm site as a source for updates then added ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS instead? If I understand this correctly I now have my Cd's (copied to the hard drive and added as a local source for convenience) and the two directories on ftp://mirrors.secsup.org for main and update_source as more up to date repositories.... then: urpmi.update --wget -acf updated my URPMI database...? I went ad installed two rpm updates I found listed where you suggested in rpmdrake under the "by update availability>upgradable" so far so good.... at this point I found two kernel-source packages available in in rpmdrake under the "Mandrake choices": kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk and kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk. I assume these two are available because they match two of the kernels I have (side by side?) Installing kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk was then successfully!! Hooray - definitely making progress here.... however I still get the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ororkep]# urpmi --wget kernel-source ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm Installation failed, some files are missing: ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/9.2/RPMS/./kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm You may want to update your urpmi database even after doing urpmi.update --wget -acf which produces a lot of responses, including the lines: examining hdlist file [/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.update_source.cz] built hdlist synthesis file for medium "update_source" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] found 2707 headers in cache removing 0 obsolete headers in cache write config file [/etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ororkep]# If I run the NVIDIA installer now, do I need to boot to 2.4.22-10mdk instead of 2.4.22-21mdk to do it, and will that mean I still can't use accelerated graphics with the 2.4.22-21mdk kernel? As a side note it took 6 reboots and y to 'check file integrity' with repeated hangings to successfully boot to the new kernel. Is there some other bug fix or update I need to do to get the newer kernel working? I am running an AMD Athalon 2500 with 1024MB RAM and a GeForce FX5200 AGP on an 'ASUS A7N8X Deluxe' mainboard. I do appreciate the patience of my helpers, I'd be lost without your help. Baby steps....
