Hi Marc,
In my experience, there are just some things you have to update manually. Like
MandrakeUpdate! I
had problems with that too, until i updated it manually. Also, in case you're not
using it totally
properly, go into the preferences menu (a sub-menu of one of the main drop-downs) and
select
"refresh mirror list" or something like that. then click ok to close that dialogue box
and try
"update list" again. But getting back to KDE 2.1, it's probably one of those things
that you have
to uninstall and reinstall, as opposed to update.
Everyone needs a test box. I have a few. I don't try something that i think i might
not be able to
come back from until i've tested it out on my test box.
Good luck,
j
PS. As i understand it, apt-get is for Debian and is not appropriate for
Mandrake/Redhat(?).
