I have used the Software manager without problems for quite some time, thinking I was lucky to have had none of the problems I've read about. I had a lockup of SM (while installing some rogue rpm that failed) Thereafter, when SM would connect to the ftp update site it would stall with no network traffic indefinitely.
I found in my home directory (root) a file called ".rpmdrakrc" with the following text: # Remove next line to be asked for an update source when running rpmdrake updates-source-already-installed I did that and voilaaaaahhhh! The next time I launched, SM allowed me to set the sources again and yes I picked a different ftp site. Worked for me! Good luck and have a happy new year! -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= = Eric McRae [EMAIL PROTECTED] = = The More I learn The Less I Know! = = = = Registered Linux User #248078 = = = = Please remove<nospam.>to reply by email = =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
