Developement does not mean what you think it does here. In Mandrake update it is referring to UNTESTED or ALPHA or BETA level packages which are part of the Cooker distribution. Normally you want to avoid these if possible. Make sure that you can go into the configuration and update the list of mirrors. Then try to choose a mirror close to you. -JMS -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of bascule Sent: Thursday, December 14, 2000 2:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] RPM keeps locking up would this explain why, when i run mandrake-update, the boxes appear that say 'updating list' and 'fetching descriptions' (from memory could be different wording) and after they go there is nothing listed in either 'normal' or 'development'? i guess all my installed 'normal' packages could be uptodate but there must be some 'development' packages i don't have since i haven't actually installed any! update has worked in the past which is why i think normal showing no updates is just about believable but no updates for 'development'? bascule On Thursday 14 December 2000 2:17 pm, you wrote: > > Where are you trying to upgrade FROM?
