Thanks Angus. The problem is every time I remove the offending RPM, and try again, the same thing happens. BTW, the one that fails ends up in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms , so I reckon the system thinks it has the full file....which it hasn't. Thanks to Kaj for his tip, I'll try that and manually dig through a mirror to get the RPM I need. I love this group........I'm finding out a helluva lot. Like the bit about archiving your home directory and thus saving everything........ Pity it didn't mention that File-Roller doesn't save hidden files and directories in the archive (by default?) :-( So now........after frantically trying to reset my config back to where it was.......yeah, I thought I would try it.............. It's definitely a learning experience :-) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Broadband for Doon Valley It's a reality!!! Now going penguin hunting!!
