Cheers, Drew 1/ and 2/ There are no update mirrors for Community. Updated packages go into the main tree. Go here http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ to select an online source for 'main' 'contrib' and 'plf' sources. Update by running urpmi.update -a update --auto-select in a root terminal about once a week. 3/ There is a bug in the Nvidia installer script. I have a workaround for it. I will put it on my web site in the next few minutes. Follow my sig. 4/ Commercial packages like precompiled NVIDIA and ATI drivers, Opera, Flash and Acrobat, and time limited commercial sample software. Don't think that joining Mandrake Club is going to give you lots of valuable software not available elsewhere. Its more of a way for people who use the download edition to contribute something back to the people who produced it. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
