Re: [newbie] Update Blew Away OO.o Again/Update Sources

Hello yet again, Charlie.

You said:
 Frankly I'd recommend you remove both. The source for what you want
 was called 
 updates by Mandrake Update once upon a time, now it's called
 update_source, 
 next week who the hell knows. g Just nuke both and let Mandrake
 Update set 
 a new one up. Then you won't care what it's called either. (-:

I'm a little unclear, OK more than a little unclear, as to just what
...let Mandrake Update set a new one up. means.

I removed update_source (I thought I would do them one at a time in case
I screwed something up) but I know of no way to let Mandrake Update set
a new one up. The only way I see is to add it back by hand in
configure media. I could do that, I think, but if it would be
preferable to let mandrake do it, that's what I want to do.  

What must I do to let mandrake set up a new one on its own? At this
point there is no update_source on my configure media list.

After you get rid of updates and update_source OK out of the software media 
manager screen and click Mandrake Update. You'll have to give it permissions 
when it asks. After it's set up be sure to check all three boxes, Security, 
Bug-fixes, Normal.

The update_source is what Mandrake Update will call it after you set it back 
up. Just get rid of updates and stay away from stealth.net. I gave the rest 
of the instructions you need above. 

Any time I skip steps please yell at me. At times even my addled old brain 
works faster than my fingers can type. (-;
