On those rare occassions when I do decide to give MandrakeUpdate a go at home over my slooooow modem connection; if I try to do a big update, it stands a good chance of failing. I may be trying to update ghostscript or qt3, large files, so I get MandrakeUpdate going and leave it to do its business. Problem is, if my dialup goes down and then comes back up (a distinct possibility), MandrakeUpdate fails. It needs to have a wget-like mendaciousness. If during updating the internet connection goes down and is then re-established, like wget, MandrakeUpdate should get back to downloading. As it now stands, if the net connection dies and gets re-established while the download process is ongoing, the game is over and any time spent downloading was for naught. How about giving MandrakeUpdate an autoresume ability? praedor - -- The First Amendment rests on the assumption that the widest possible dissemination of information from diverse and antagonistic sources is essential to the welfare of the public. - --Justice Hugo Black GnuPG fingerprint: D170 2A02 B426 6AA0 5E68 3EDC 68AA FDB0 961E 4F18 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+/QK3aKr9sJYeTxgRAs7pAJ43zs5bSMvebD1TJSGQXX3pfsmKLQCfdD7Z rw1xcN5V5BusfM3wiGsORfI= =XMIW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
