Re: [newbie] Mandrake Software Manager problem

No it doesn't. Get the message that it can't find the mirror list, that I have to wait and try later because network could be down or server unreachable or whatsoever... Tried this for two weeks (can surf and email without probs) and finally inserted a mirror manually in MSM, typing rather long command in console. Now it works, but I never got the MDK mirror list that's on the MDK website for updates automatically.

Cheers

Probably the "good glass of wine" was the decisive factor:o)

Mandrake being a French based distro needs a drop of Cabernet Sauvignon every
now and then, to keep it docile;o)


As to not finding mirrors automatically, it does just that doesn't it? Then
all you have to do is make a choice which fits you best.

Good Luck,
