LW> FWIW LW> Lee Yes, one of the things that annoys me about urpmi is that the hdlist.cz has to be present, whereas with YUM (yellow Dog Update Manager), you can use any directory full of RPMS and it will build the hdlist automatically, so the mirror doesn't have to maintain an hdlist. Not that big of a deal, but it sure would be nice to, for instance, add Florin's Mandrake Network Firewall cooker to urpmi, but I can't since it doesn't have an hdlist :) /rant off ______________________________ Justin Grote Network Architect, CCNA The Whistlepunk Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove nospam-) SMS: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove nospam-) Phone: (208) 631-5440
