No, I did a search and replace on /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg using emacs. The old sources are overwritten: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ grep update /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg updates ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/updates/2006.0/main_updates { hdlist: hdlist.updates.cz list: list.updates update > The issue around paths is one that, really, Mandriva has no control over > except on their own site.

Yeah, I don't know for sure who's responsible. But one of the previous times it happened I was told it was a change by Mandriva, propagated automatically through the mirrors. Which is what mirrors are supposed to be - if they're not copying things verbatim, it's not really a mirror is it? > John Ron -- Opinions are mine. Don't blame anyone else.
