Must just be me then, I've had no problems with SoftwareManager in 8.1 at
all. Yes it refreshes the headers when I choose Reload Lists and Mandrake
Update works fine as well. More than I can say about it in 8.0 where I had
lots of issues.
Hello. The Mandrake Software Manager freezes on startup when it attempts to
refresh the security update source I defined (ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu). I
have checked the ftp site and can logon anonymously with no problem. I did
not provide a username and password for the security update source
There seems to be quite a rash of people reporting trouble defining upgrade
sources recentlly.
If you want to remove the update source there is a console command
urpmi.removemedia
I do not know how it is used, but I'm sure the manual has full details.

Thanks Derek. urpmi.removemedia ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu worked like a
charm. Software Manager is such a great tool (even though I did hose myself
once by installing a new kernel using it dooh!). After running the command
I tried another udpate site and it worked fine.
