I got 'upto date'
so used <urpmi --auto-select kdebase...> and got huge rpm list @ 74Mg
but when answered Y urpmi could'nt find the files, said urpmi data base had
to updated

no, no, not cooker, only from 8.2 vanilla install off planetmirror

urpmi returned <libqt3 not in database>

nothing...'command not found'
Getting ppp going via the command prompt is challenging
seems not to connect using modified scripts in /etc/ppp
this which might be best to fix first to enable urpmi to get rpm from
remote servers
TIA
