Well, I don't use RW's. I see no good reason to with CDr's at 30� each. There's a very good reason not to, specially for iso's. RW's, even when brand new, will not be as 'readable' as CDr's will. I often suspect those that report problems with iso CD's failing to install properly, fail to mention they're using cd-rw's. d4x is just a download buttler. It doesn't find, d/l, and install updates as urpmi does. d4x is just a GUI frontend for wget. It just make d/l'ing multiple files, specially more than one at a time, easy. It definitely will resume failed d/l's and allows you to throttle how much of your bandwidth to give to d/l'ing, among many other features. I use sunsite 'cause it's the primary mirror and updates often (hourly). Unless you update cooker several times a day, you'd probly be better off using one of the less busy mirrors listed on the mirror list at http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/cookerdevel.php3 You won't find the nvidia drivers on Mandrake cooker mirrors. MOF, you won't find any non-free and/or proprietary software. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
