Asides from that I cannot spend more than about 15mins per day on the net as the costs are prohibitive. If someone could send me some details on what to download I'll hop past an internet cafe and cut a CD of the required libraries and their dependencies.

It is really easy! I'm very much a newbie too - Mandrake 9.0 a year ago was not only my first Mandrake, but my first Linux. I've never even seen my kernel, let alone compiled it, and the only time I tried to use a tarball I messed up completely - but even I can manage urpmi! It sounds scary, but it really isn't. Have a look at the Twiki page on urpmi: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/UsingUrpmi and then go to the Easy Urpmi page: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php If I can manage urpmi, anybody can. If you need more help, get back to us. Good luck, Margot Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

You can add the ftp://favourite mirror/mandrake-devel/unsupported/MandrakeClub to your software sources for contributors packages such as Mozilla 1.5. urpmi then will install and take care of dependencies and you wouldn't need worry about the dependency dance.

I can click on new but I cannot add/edit filter criteria, only the rules as to what to do with the message when the criteria are met. I can send you a screen shot FYI if the above explanation doesn't suit. Suggestions on how to get the filter criteria back ie uninstall and reinstall etc?
