Let me get this right, you use Easy Urpmi to create your sources, but when you open the Media Manager GUI, the sources are not updated? Interesting. Very Interesting. Its not Easy Urpmi, its something about either the Media Manager, /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, or how you are handling the update of sources. cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg to see if the sources are updated. This should also be the file that the Media Manager reads sources from. It should be rw enabled for root but r only for every one else. Or maybe it is gook in cat. In that case, I would, in a root window, delete urpmi.cfg. I bet it will be remade the next time urpmi.update is run. Just a thought, you are updating your sources in a root window? Its a job for root, but I don't think anyone else can do it. Rob -- Mountlake Terrace, WA USA
