Re: RH Updates was: DVD Player

Well, I'll try the site below and see how it goes.  Thanks for the 
RPM-on-CD offer, that might help quite a bit with other things, too ;-) 
i686 stuff should work fine on an Athlon, shouldn't it?

Hi-ho...

If you're having problems like that you should go to a local mirror for
the updates.
For RH 9 a good one is:

ftp://ftp.isl.net.nz/pub/linux/dist/redhat/updates/9/en/os/

If you can't get the updates from there either due to dial-up dropouts or
other syndromes of the net, I can burn the current RPM binary updates for
you, which is 670Mb worth to a CDR..  I keep a private rsync'd mirror of
all the RH7.3, 7.1 and 9.0 updates.  (i386, i586, i686, noarch, but not
src or athlon)
