The CL will auto complete to 'edit-urpm-sources.pl' Then hitting will start the Software Media Manager GUI. Here you can simply uncheck sources to disable them. If you then want them back later, just reverse the process. Quick an simple. Even quicker if you make an alias for 'edit-urpm-sources.pl'. Same scenario for adding mulitple sources. You can add a lot of sources, but then use the Manager to en/unable them at will. Makes switching mirrors very easy. The Manager also has a button to select a media and then remove it, but I suggest just disabling a source. You might want it back later ;) You can also enable muliple sources for the same updates. urpmi will auto switch mirrors, if a file or dependant file is missing on one mirror, but present on another. Almost a must for running cooker as playin musical chairs to find a mirror that's up to date and reliable is always a moving target. To a lesser extent the same is true for past and current Mandrake versions and 3rd party sources. Mandrake relies on donated mirror space, sysadmin, and bandwidth so we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth in that respect ;) -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
