Entering the following per results of running through the
plf.zarb.org/~nanardon site (as recommended by Charlie, nanookatlarge, a
couple of months ago):
urpmi.addmedia --update updates
ftp://ftp.nmt.edu/pub/linux/mandrake/updates/9.1/RPMS/ with ../base/hdlist.cz
gives me the following:

Anybody see what's going wrong here? This is a result of running it for the
third time in the last two months, with the same result. Stupid newbie
tricks that I'm not catching on to? Thanks in advance for any assistance you
can provide.
