However, I will give it a shot tomorrow afternoon on the machine that I mirror cooker on. I'll report back once I've accomplished the install. Of course, this is very easy to disprove as well. Perhaps your troels script needs to be fixed or something because when I do this: [qateam@updates i586]$ pwd /mnt/BIG/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586 [qateam@updates i586]$ find . -name hdlist* ./Mandrake/base/hdlist.cz ./Mandrake/base/hdlists ./Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz ./Mandrake/base/hdlists~ [qateam@updates i586]$ Hmmm... seems like the file you're saying is missing (and also implying is our fault) is in fact there... Again, check your troels (or whatever you call it) script to make sure it's not missing stuff. This is on a machine with an hourly sync to the machine that the primaries sync from, so if it's there, it's on the mirrors. So if this file is missing, you did something to make it missing and it really isn't our responsibility. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx - source http://linsec.ca/vdanen.asc | gpg --import" {FE6F2AFD: 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD}
