This sort of question gives me a headache. Could you also please get rid of 
the Reply To: setting in your Evolution install?

You want to install what software? From a Mandrake mirror? From a third party 
concern? What does drakx have to do with installing software? Are you talking 
about drakxtools?

What version of Mandrake are you running now since you stated; i used to have 
this working with mandrake 9.0, but i cannot remember how i did that!!!

Go to;

http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi/index.php

and follow the instructions to add software source repositories to your 
install BUT don't use the command (urpmi.removemedia -a) to remove existing 
sources or you won't have the install disks available as a source.

Regards;
Charlie
