 I'd wait till after the holidays to see if it isn't just high load 
on the Net due to the influx of Christmas computers.  Also, a lot of 
the mirrors have been sporadically maintained for the last week or so.
Prob'ly due to the holidays too.

I got that message dozens of times, but was finally able to get all the 
updates for my 7.2

Don't feel bad. Took me forever to get the KDE updates (and others) for 7.2.
Wouldn't find the mirrors etc. I finally got everything I needed though.

Hi,
I was trying to update my Linux 7.1 using the Mandrake Update program
and
I got the message:

fetching of mirror list failed.

Then it just dumped me out of the program.  I can ftp to places ok but my
netscape needs
a http proxy in order to work.  How can I fix this problem?

Can I simply download the free installation from mandrake the two disks and
upgrade that
way? or will there be a lot of conflicts?


Thank you inadvance,
Sincerely,
Trevor J. Stocki
