Guest anon Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 It might just be the mirror your using is busy or down. Try adding this source from our own server, its contains PLF stuff. urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://mandrake-forum.org/pub/PLF/mandrake/9.2 with hdlist.cz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilimanjaro Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Sometime if the source has too many poeple using it, it will not work. Are you using dial up? I have had problem with dial up being too slow and sometimes it helps to try other souces also. PLF - ftp://ftp.bahcesehir.edu.tr/pub/plf.zarb....rg/mandrake/9.1 main - ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/mandrake/Mandra...6/Mandrake/RPMS Texstar - ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distribut...ndrake/9.1/rpms contribs - ftp://ftp.darenet.dk/pub/linux/mandrake/9....1/contrib/RPMS updates - ftp://ftp.uasw.edu/pub/os/linux/mandrake/...pdates/9.1/RPMS These are the ones that work for me.
