hi,

i just installed mandrake 8.0 and am trying to configure the rpm app to get
the packages from an ftp site.

*       specifically,
ftp://ftp1.sourceforge.net/pub/mirrors/mandrake/8.0/i586/ 

*       when i add this site, the dialog just spins and spins saying that
its gonna add it but nothing happends, i tried several other sites as well

*       plus the only way to kill it is to do a ps -e/kill process id.
