Your URL looks correct, I checked it out. But there are some other things you want to make sure of. In that software manager, you should make sure you've selected your source entry as FTP, and not the default. Second, in the "relative path" box, you need to have the following: ../base/synthesis.hdlist.cz A seperate source needs to be configured for each rpm dir that you have on the mirror. There may not be a second one. However if there is, for the second rpm's dir, which might be for example ftp://blah.blahblah/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2 your "relative path" would look like ../base/synthesis.hdlist2.cz Finally and probably most importantly. In the sources selection box, you need to unselect all sources except for the ones you have added. In other words deselect the cdrom sources and leave only the internet sources. Now, when you run your update, you need to do this: urpmi.update -a --wget && urpmi --auto-select Many thanks to Tom Brinkman for that one, btw. When you run that, you should start seeing some action. As Tom says, if it bombs out, just go to the /var/cache/urpmi/rpms dir and do an " rpm -Uvh * " on the rpm's in there. Delete the rpm's that won't install because of dependency problems, and keep trying rpm -Uvh until it completes without running into an rpm with a dependency problem. Then DELETE all the rpm's in that dir, and restart the urpmi.update command line again. Urpmi will detect what has already been installed and will only download those rpm's that you haven't installed yet; including any previous problem rpm's and their dependencies. You may get lucky and urpmi.update may well do everything that's needed, even installing everything. But if the net connection bombs in the middle of download, you'll be ready for that too.
