gendistrib, as I understand it (the only documentation I can find on it is just it's command line syntax, so I could be wrong), regenerates the various files that serve to tell the installer and urpmi which packages are included with the distribution (hdlists and so forth). It could be that your problem with DrakX is that it's checking the hdlists to verify that every package is actually available. If this is the case, try running something along these lines: gendistrib --distrib /path/to/distrib -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Another January, another Bill Cowher choke-job GPG Key Fingerprint: 354C 7A02 77C5 9EE7 8538 4E8D DCD9 B4B0 DC35 67CD Currently playing: Megadeth - Trust Linux 2.4.20-0.4mdk 12:30:00 up 10:47, 5 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
