I have, after 4 years or so, finally figured out that mdk is a French plot to humble me.
Fifth attempt to upgrade or fresh install 10.1 on my laptop that was happily running 10.0. 14 hours after beginning this exercise I am now at the gurpmi update dl. It named 92 progs, probably fraught with dependencies that will no doubt require my personal approval. I know, gurpmi isn't the update method of choice for an old salt like me, but I've urpmi'ed my last urpmi for the day. We're at a new high of 58/92 without crashing or running out of disk space on a 20gb drive. No more than 6 hours or so before we again have a laptop. Maybe I really need to get a life. Do real beginners really put up with this shite? Well, maybe tomorrow I'll switch the mirrors to cooker........... Lee
