And how about this one: The Software Manager hangs while analyzing the sources (specifically 99% through CD 1). I have version 8.0 and this is driving me nuts!
Anyone know how to fix this??? -Allan -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of FemmeFatale Sent: February 1, 2003 6:21 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Argh-Software manager is killing me!

I have a similar problem! I used during the install of Linux the ability of the installer to go to the net & install updates & patches. Well, once I'd loaded linux up, I went to the Software Updater. It showed only 4 packages avail to update. Now that made little sense as I went to Mandrakes site, and it has patches there that were released after I had installed & used the installer/update util when I loaded Linux originally! I know "rpm -q >packagenamehere<" works...but shouldn't the update software list this stuff too? ------------- FemmeFatale Good Decisions You boss Made: "We'll do as you suggest and go with Linux.
