If you get a chance to choose which server to try for security updates try using a different one from normal. Or you could simply download the updates you want from ftp://debian.attica.net.nz/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS stick them in a directory togeather and run " urpmi * " at console as root in the folder that will install the updates you downloaded. Otherwise try going Configure > Packaging > Mandrake Source Manager. Make sure the Proxy's set up right if you use one and that your connected to the internet and then click add. Tick the security update button at the top left of the new window name the source and use the drop down menu to select a server. then click add/ok it should pop up a box saying adding Source and download the List of updates avaliable from the internet. After that you can install the updates through several methods. Load Software Installer (Configure > packaging > ) and once it lists all the packages click on the little drop down menu and select "By source repository" or something simliar to that. Then under Updates or what ever you called the source you added you should see a list of Packages. If all else fails try this. As root at console enter this command on one line.(this adds an update source you must be connected to the net and linux must know the settings for your proxy server if you have one). urpmi.addmedia --update updates ftp://debian.attica.net.nz/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS/ with ../base/hdlist.cz then this one (which will install all Avaliable updates) urpmi --update --auto-select If this doesn't work you'll see some error messages on the console screen post them here that should allow us to see what the problem is. By the way a good site for help with Mandrake linux is. http://www.mandrakeusers.org especially their forum. http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
