Hi Helge, I'm sorry I have no idea what I'm supposed to do here. I tried urpmi'ing in the console by typing urpmi gimp 2. and I got quite a list and the gimp was in there but I'm not sure if this is off an old list or a new data list on line. I'm an "old newbie", meaning I play with Mandrake but never had much use for it, but with the new Mandrake 10 it's MUCH more usable and would like to make sure that I have all the newest GIMP files installed, seeing as it's about the closest thing to Photoshop, which I use over in Windows XP. Someone on the Windows users group was going to compile a Mandrake 10rpm of the GiMP but I guess he's busy right now so that's on hold! :-( So if you don't mind doing a little hand holding then I might get the old linux juices flowing a bit more, I'm just not getting what to do on that site. I copy/pasted the info into a terminal (su/password/index.php,v 1.10 2004/05/10 20:44:07 trem Exp $) and then hit enter. I just blindly chose some mirrors and then proceeded as typed above and so I'm not sure what I did there but it didn't give me any errors or anything. What I need to know is which program I use to access these updates now. In Mandrake I have the following for software packages: Install, Remove, Updates, Media Manager and Manage computer group. I would imagine that I would use the Updates area but it doesn't give me any options to go outside of the Mandrake Official release mirrors. So that's where I'm stuck. H E L P ! Thanks Richard ;-)~ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
