Perhaps I needed to update the data base or something. Anyways a personal expierence, if it helps. Mike Mate, great timing, just had another existing source go bad, and that worked perfectly, saved a hell of a lot of 'rm -rf *yada*' ;-) And shouldn't the gui handle this a bit more elegently then just dieing???

Returning for a second helping, he asked politely, May I have some breast? Mr. Churchill, replied the hostess, in this country we ask for white meat or dark meat. Churchill apologized profusely. The following morning, the lady received a magnificent orchid from her guest of honor. The accompanying card read: I would be most obliged if you would pin this on your white meat.

Nope, this was following a urpmi.removemedia -a. That worked, but the re-adding is consistently messing up.
