It took trying all the mirrors twice before I finally >didn't get the "an error occured when adding this source" then I figured kewl, I'm >finally gonna get it, and now 6 tries later I'm getting "error fetching package" on >all of the packages. > If you are still using the stock rpmdrake you need to manually download and install the lastest release from cooker: rpmdrake-1.3-106mdk.i586.rpm I usually have good results from this site: ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS Once you have it installed you should not have any problem adding a Cooker source. Or if you prefer you can manually also dl the XFree rpms into a special directory such as /home/jon/xfree. Once you have dled all the rpms you need, cd to /home/jon/xfree, su to root and rpm -Uvh *rpm and this will install all the rpms residing in that directory. Charles
