Is it just me, or is this site ($subject) having big problems?!? Cannnot reach 
it for the second day in a row ... 

Hmmm ... same with archives.mandrakelinux.com?!? Could it be me, from three 
different locations (CW, Sprint and ATT backbones)?!?

Nope I don't think so. I have regular issues lately with mandrakes sites too. 
At the moment for me its mandrakesecure.net, archives.mandrake.com, yesterday 
it was mandrakeuser.org, mandrakesecure some days ago too. The mail archives 
were down several times for me too some days back. I use t-online and I think 
their backbones are very reliable

So I think 

1) They have server problems
2) they change their infrastructure. 

It doesn't make a good picture to have regular sites down.

Does anybody know of a(nother) place - then - with the instructions on urpmi 
utilization for kernel upgrades?

Thx.

They have been updating their servers, (both hw and sw)
and changing dns setups an so on...
Even tonight or tomorrow there will be some dns updates

I think they are prepairing their systems for the 9.2 rush...

But hopefully we wont see downtimes from now on...,
since they are using RR to handle the loads...

No... that's for different servers, not MandrakeSecure.

There will continue to be downtime for about another week as that machine
moves so we can fix it.  Then it should be solid.

 It's not you.  There is some hardware problems with that machine that is
 causing it to be unresponsive, but it's in a location that is not easy to
 get to.  This should be fixed in the next week, but until we can get our
 hands on it, it's likely to keep going down.  =(

 MandrakeSecure and archives.mandrakelinux.com are on the same machine which
 is why you're seeing it happen with both.

Thank you for the explanation ... still my kind request (especially now, in 
the light of possible downtime for another week): anybody with a copy of 
kernel updates instructions, utilizing urpmi?

Thx,
Stef

I just checked and the site is up right now so if you go now you can get it.
Otherwise try googling for it and when it comes up, use the cached file
instead of going to the actual link.
