I also tried to add software repositories manually as you suggest but it didn't work either. Anyway, the Online Update Configuration should add the update repository automatically. To fix the problem before Monday, I copied the update/10.3/ directory from an FTP mirror. Unfortunately, the machine froze during file copying several minutes ago so now I also suspect that there is a hardware problem there. (There were hardware problems with graphics there on Friday.) I have to postpone the work till Monday. -- A.M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
