With 7.1 because of problems with the ver. that is included in the
installation you need to maually download and install the lastest
MandrakeUpdate from the 7.1 update directory. Use the version # to make your
selection because there were at least 2 updates for it in 7.1
It will then function properly requiring you to downloaded only the depends
that your selected app requires and not everything.
