I got that from gFTP the Mandrake updates. Just checked on Big Bertha and it is still at 3mdk for downloading so you might want to check that? Where did you get the 7mdk? (just curious) Good luck and let me know how it goes. Patti - Registered Linux User #184611 Look at a day when you were supremely satisfied at its end.
