Hi again Charlie. You said:
> OK, *which* freakin' directions? (g> The command line, right click the > K button or??? ..... Actually I opted for the right click on the K button. My reasons were basically two. 1- Working from the command line I would have had no idea how to undo what I did if it turned out to be wrong. 2- I'm working on promoting Linux on the desktop and for virtually everyone not proficient in Linux, very much including me, that means working from a GUI.

And is the same URL usable for both? From what you said in your response to me last spate of questions I'm taking it that Yes, both updates and update_sources should be enabled. I'm not quite as clear on whether or not the same URL is usable for both? I now have the Mandrake Secure Updates site bookmarked for future reference. Until I managed to successfully install Mandrake 8.2, I had been a Windows user since before W 3.1. My first installation of Windows was actually a FREE run time version which came bundled with a word processor. I've been dual booting since the install of Mandrake 8.2 but virtually never use windows at all any more. I had intended to delete windows completely from my computer once I got Mandrake 9.2 installed and running dependably. That is still my intent. These update problems have simply caused a slight delay. I really appreciate all the help in getting me to that point. With any fortuity, my PC will be completely Micro$oft free by the turn of the year. I'm sure I'll need a good of help in accomplishing that as well, but first things first. Oh yes, I still have no sound at all. Any ideas as to what the cause might be? That is somewhat less of an issue to me because, generally, the less noise-beeps, dings, chimes, etc. my computer makes the better I like it. However I would like to have it running properly.
