Thank you, Tom. I've been away for the week-end, hence my late reply. Now, I followed your advice ( I always do) and issued the command : urpmi.removemedia -a Which effectively deleted all my sources. Fine. Then, I went to the "easy urpmi" site at : http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and found no way to add 10.1 official sources. Possibly because the "easy urpmi" site was updated last saturday (the 16.th.) - O.K.. Next, I visited some mirrors, but I regret to say : IMHO they are at a total mess at the moment. For example : what is "current" ? - what is the difference between "devel" and "cooker" and why is everything being moved down the directory structure to "main" ? Maybe I am too conservative, but I found the "old" structure easier to manouver. So for now, I'll obey the good, old rule : "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Maybe tomorrow - or some other fine day - Trem at zarb.org will sort it out and provide us with an updated site. I allways enjoyed this excellent service. Thanks again, Tom.
