Ok I have tried using urpmi to no avail. I went to the club website and
used the mirror finder and get nothing. I click on my icon for mkonline
and it keeps telling me I am up to date. I cannot access updates, I
can't find the updates, I can't find a manual site to download them
with. Where the h----- are they. I keep getting security alerts but
have not found a way to download them. I have been able to get the
club-commercial, club-non commercial, the 2006 site, every site except
the update site. I even tried using the gui to change the site and
still don't get the latest security updates. Does anyone have the addy
to a site with the updates so I can download them or a fix for
mdonline? I would greatly appreciate it.

Sounds like you haven't actually set up the relevant urpmi sources from
easyurpmi.
Go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ select your version - make sure you
tick the box marked "Show specific sources too", then click the button
marked "proceed to step 2" - if you don't remember to click "proceed to
step 2" it will give you the sources for the default version rather
than your selection.
In step 2, select a mirror for each source - one each for contrib, main,
updates, jpackage, plf-free, and plf-nonfree. If you are using dialup,
or any internet service with limited bandwidth, tick the box marked "Use
compressed index...", then click on "proceed to step 3".
Now you need to open a root terminal. Use copy/paste to copy the output
from step 3 of easyurpmi into the root terminal, one medium at a time
until you have all of them set up.
You will then have a complete set of urpmi sources and will be able to
retrieve your necessary updates.
