two possibilities 1. not in the list of files seen by urpmi, or 2. no file of that name (e.g. mozilla-thunderbird, rather than thunderbird). have you gone to the easy urpmi pages and set up from there? http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ Go for main, contrib, PLF (both free & non-free) for the version you are using. Note, the mirrors don't seem to be set up for PLF 2006 as yet, take your pick from 2005 & cooker (2005 probably safer). then go through mcc or type (as root) in a terminal window 'urpmi mozilla-thunderbird'. You will get a full list of software available if you go to mcc, software installation, and click either the alphabetical list, or list by groups. -- "Victory means exit strategy, and it's important for the President to explain to us what the exit strategy is." --Texas Governor George W.
