Hi Chad, Yes, the way you describe is the way it happened right through to pop-up list of updates - the window with the list was empty and had pop-up message instead saying system is up to date. Maybe the kde 3.0.5a is not a security update (as per Chris saying it will only show security updates)?
I'm away for the next five days but when I get back I'll double check kde's current version - maybe I already have it - although the install was done back in November/December last year so is unlikely. Thanks, Bryce Stenberg. > -----Original Message----- > From: C Harland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, 18 February 2003 6:00 p.m. > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: MandrakeUpdate - found no updates?? > > > Strange kde 3.0.5a should be there for download. > So you went menu > configuration > packaging > Mandrake Update. > It then asked you for the root password?
