It will be your friend in gettins started!! http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php There sure is something screwy going on, this is a virgin install, with nothing downloaded yet. MCC s/w update seems to give FTP Access denied which ever mirror I try. After running urpmiweb, which at least downloaded the headers, the only site which downloads is the PLF sites, albeit with signature failures. Using the MCC s/w add and selecting the update repository, I'm getting signature block failures. As a fresh install I need to update K3B and cdrecord, as there are big probs with K3B 0.8.1, I also need to update the kernel to at least 2.4.21-0.25mdk so win4lin can be run. I do have a redhat rpm for K3B0.9 but it dos'nt update the toolbars, so if the worst happens I could update that way. Is anyone else getting probs like this ? 2 different PC both with MDK 9.1 one is from powerpack the other is the download version, and at the moment I cant update either..

This will cause addmedia failures so you might want to do such a check. Another thing is the url is too vague. At least, in any case I have added a source, on command line or with software sources manager, the url/path has to be to some RPMS directory, i.e. the directory that contains the rpms. If your browser test shows a server is accessible, drill down through the appropriate release and category directories until you get the url of the RPMS directory and try appending the rest of that url to the command. I think there is a bug in the command-generating script at Club, perhaps. It looks like a series of addmedia errors has left some crud in your database where no hdlists are being found. Maybe you could urpmi.removemedia these sources to clean that up or use software sources manager to do that. Rolf Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
