My problem is when you have cooker and security file
updates. I have intentionally not installed kde alpha
since I have had problems with it... but when kde
2.1.2 came out through security updates and I clicked
on those files to be updated... mandrake Update
automatically chose the kde alpha. I had to remove my
cooker source before I could do any other upgrades. I
have the same problem if I want to re-install from the
cdrom. I wish there was a way I could turn them off
without deleting them when I want to do something
specific.
