Its always a good idea to rpm -K therpmyoudownloaded.rpm and if you want to check the signature then grab the key off the cd with gpg --import RPMkeyfilename before you check the rpm. If you picked up some garbage in the rpm during the download or got a bogus rpm, this procedure will cull out these kinds of problems. tom berkley "David G.Powers" wrote: > I attempted to install the mc updates via MandrakeUpdate and my system seemed > to freeze.
