Thanks Paul I'll try that. The problem is that the mirros site list does loadup, the problem is that all of the sites I've tried keep reporting a error. I'll try and write down the error when I get home.
On an other note. When I do a custom install(where I select only the packages I want) I can't get tuxRacer to work. BUT if I install EVERYTHING minus the server stuff tuxracer works. Now that I installed EVERYTHING and tuxracer is working, it's SLOW as heck. Un-playable. I have a Riva TNT2 videocard. I'll try and upgrade the drivers tonight. >From: Paul Rodríguez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: newbie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: [newbie] Software Manager problems >Date: 14 Nov 2001 11:38:50 -0500 > >If the problem is that you are unable to add new sites to the list of >RPM sources, then you may need to upgrade rpmdrake to a newer version. >rpmdrake is the graphical frontend to urpmi, and it's the program that >is opened up when you click on Software Manager. > >I'm assuming that you are running Mandrake 8.1 because this was a common >problem.
