Vincent, I may have misled you - doing MU development updates again I
see it is using the 'Source on network' of:
ftp://ftp.wtfo.com/pub/linux/mandrake-devel/cooker/Mandrake/RPMs
Clicking on Update the list of mirrors (which is now very hard to
find) yields:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/MandrakeCooker/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS
Both these are quite obviously incorrect for updating 7.2. Can you
get the list of mirrors corrected ASAP (which means another update
for MandrakeUpdate <g>)? Meanwhile put out an urgent advisory
strictly not to use the MandrakeUpdate in 7.2. Is there no check in
MU that what is being downloaded is really the updates for the
installed Linux? That's a basic requirement.
We were lucky the initial update failed and I quitted out, weren't
we?
I selected the development updates because normal updates produced a
blank MU screen and because it was a development install. A cooker
install is something very different from a development install and
the MU pushbutton title should be altered to 'Cooker Updates'. In
any case MU should be able to tell the difference itself.
