Is this for 9.1 Owen? I hope so cause that's the version for Bamboo. Try it 
with just "urpmi mozilla-spellchecker" (no quotes) at the prompt and see what 
happens. You shouldn't have to specify version numbers for urpmi. Just type 
what's between the quotes and hit the tab button. It should finish it for 
you. Again, you shouldn't need it though.

I don't know if you noticed it but you also have a space between the - 
(hyphen) after spellchecker and the version number. The only space in that 
command is the one after urpmi. Assuming what you posted was a copy and paste 
from the terminal. That'll break things too.

Do you have any trouble using urpmi to update or install other packages? If 
you like you should also be able to install the package you want from the 
(rpmdrake) Mandrake Control Centre software manager. It's on disk 3. If you 
don't have that disk you'll have to scoop the package from a mirror.

HTH.
