Hi all and thanks for all the help.
However I'm still unable to update my installation of 9.2. Clicking on
the Mandrake Update Icon in software management still tells me:
"You already have at least one update medium configured, but all
of them are currently disabled. You should run the Software
Media Manager to enable at least one (check it in the
enabled?column)"
"Then restart Mandrake Update."
When I checked the Software Media Manager, as before, all the update
media are checked enabled with the exception of update_source. If I
click on this and select update, then update_source once again I get the
following rpmdrake error message
Unable to update medium; it will be automatically disabled
Errors:
urpmi database locked
urpmi database locked
retrieve source hdlist (or synthesis) failed
no hdlist filefound for medium "update_source"
problem reading synthesis file of medium "update_source"
I returned once again to the easy URPMI site and once again selected
alternative mirrors. This time I got the following
# urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://knight.zarb.org/pub/plf/mandrake/9.2
with hdlist.cz
unable to access hdlist file of "update_source", medium ignored
added medium plf

Following this I attempted the update once again with the same results
listed above.
What am I doing wrong?? Can I simply continue to copy stuff from the
Easy URPMI site into a root terminal with impunity? I assume it must
have some effect on something.
I am truly at a complete loss.
