Then go to easyurpmi.zarb.org and follow the instructions on that page to set new sources. While you are there, set up a source for plf, and I would recommend setting one for every group on there. You can select them all at once, then the page will come back with a long command that you paste into a root console. You should have no problems after that.

[newbie] Security updates for new MD10.1
Please excuse my newness... I tried to do the updates for my i686 machine, but it says that the website is uncontactable. Where can I find a list of update mirrors. I have googled but can not find any. I tried to update using KDE's update thingy. Also Mandrake Online cannot connect to its servers. I cannot figure this out. I am not behind a firewall or proxy, all settings are correct as I am emailing from the system right now through a web browser. I can ftp from the command line as well. My network settings are correct. Would I be best sorting out why these don't work or just getting a mirror list. If mirrors are the way forward, please can I have a link to somewhere that I can read to tell me about adding a security update medium.

Hi all,
I am sure this has already been answered, but I
didn't have much luck with the archives. I am using
10.1 community currently and when I try to add a

impossible to add the source and that it is most
likely misconfigured. Is there a problem with curl or
are the sites just down currently?
Thanks in advance,
-Matt
For 10.1 Community, same as for 10.0 Community, there are *no*
'update' sources. Updates for Community are found in 'main', not in
a separate source.
Go to easyurpmi, select 10.1 Community sources for 'main',
'contrib', 'jpackage' and 'plf'.
Every day, open a root terminal and do this:
urpmi.update -a --no-md5sum && urpmi --auto-select
This will get you a list of updates for all packages that you have
installed.
Curl usually fails - you should be using wget instead. As root, open
your /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg file, and add this at the top:
{
verify-rpm: 0
downloader: wget
}
