Hi,

I'm trying to use the software manager with Mandrake 8.0. I can get it to load the CD1 and CD2 databases just fine, however when I try to add an FTP source under "updates", it won't hold.

When it asks if I want to add a security source, I click on OK and then hit the "update list of mirrors" button and nothing happens! I know it worked the last time I installed it, but through two different installs it hasn't come through.

I have regular ftp access through gftp and through the Internet, so I know I can just RPM everything manually or use URPMI, but I'd really like to know why this doesn't load.

Any ideas? Am I missing packages? Settings? Help!

Thanks in advance. J.R. Juiliano
