I've had the same problem as well. But today for some reason the "Find archive list" worked and I am able to update a couple of packages at a time. I have found that it does quit for some unknown reason. It has been my experience that if the "path" settings aren't exactly as it expects it just drops that source from the list. Not sure why...or how to fix it. If I find something more I'll let you know. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Peter Watson > Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2001 5:40 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [newbie] Updating > > > On Tuesday 04 September 2001 4:35 pm, Scott Thurmond wrote: > > I have LM 8.0 installed and everything is working beautifully. > My question > > is this: There are some updates out there that I want > -Evolution being one > > of them.
