Subject: [newbie] Mandrake Update is stuck on one lame mirror



Somehow, after I selected a mirror to use for Mandrake Update, it is now
the ONLY mirror I can get.. and more than half the time I can't download
files because it says it can't resolve host. How to I reconfigure
rpmdrake to look for another host??


And why isn't this a selection onr rpmdrake when I right click?


Thanks for any help.

James, if you open Mandrake Control Center and choose the Software option you will see a icon for updating mirrors. They have separated the install-uninstall-mirrorselection into separate interfaces. You can add another mirror there or delete one. I am not real fond of it but it works. HTH Dennis M.

Open the Mandrake Control Center, got to software management and choose Software 
Sources Manager.  Highlight update source and choose remove. click save and quit.  
then back at the MCC, Click on Mandrake Update and you can re-choose your mirror.

Hope this helps
Jerry.
