Not true at all. The command lines I use are, in order: urpmi.update --wget -a urpmi --wget -M -c --auto-select The latter will present me with a list of all updated RPMs available for the existing packages on my system. I can either accept this list as-is, or cancel it and run urpmi again with only the names of the ones I want. And urpmi /always/ uses wget (rather than curl) this way, as well. :) -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 The engineer is neither optimist nor pessimist.
