I went through the same thing today... there were no url's listed, and it wouldn't update the list... In Mdk7.2 in my case,, for some reason, all the url's in the normal updates section disappeaared.. so I setup the dev section and opened one of the FTP urls in netscape, then I chanced the url to just mandrake from mandrake-cooker and browsed to the updates directory,,, copied the url back into software manager and off it went.. make sure the url points only to the updates directory, not the specific version of mdk inside it,, software update will open that directory by itself... worked fine for me.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bryan Harper Sent: Saturday, 1 September 2001 1:15 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Software Manager(rpmdrake) frustrations Hi All, Could someone tell me why I can't add a new source for rpms and get it to actually work? Every time I add new one the software manager doesn't appear to look at the new source. I have had absolutely no luck adding an ftp location. The Security update part doesn't work either. Nothing is found when updating the list of mirrors and manually typing the location is useless as well. TIA Bryan
