Err...do you mean that MandrakeUpdate has a switch '--wget'? I did a 'man MandrakeUpdate' and get nada. Doing a 'MandrakeUpdate --help' produces nothing useful either. In any case, since I would expect that a lot of users, particularly new users, would start the update process from DrakConf rather than from a CLI, they would not tend to use command line switches, just icons. Autoresume should be builtin by default. 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+/bC7aKr9sJYeTxgRAj5mAKCAlsMJPnkrJqB3QX0Ej8qShCZ0xACbBknf PGdIBi/LzzAAbwrvZ8qBesw= =nfUC -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
