1st Problem --- When the software management programs starts up I get a window stating

 

Fatal error could not find mirror in $mirrorlist

 

after clicking ok on about 15 of this boxes a mirror is finally accessed.

 

How do I get rid of these bogus mirrors?

 

2nd Problem, --- I've down loaded flash 9 something. and when I run it's rpm installer

I get window saying it could not find the mirror in the $mirrorlist.

I click on ok, and it ends the program.

 

How do I install flash

 

Thanks

go to the adobe website

http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/do...=ShockwaveFlash

and download the tar.gz file

 

extract libflashplayer.so and copy it to ~/.mozilla/plugins

 

This assumes you are using firefox as your browser.

For those who try to install Flash this way: there is an rpm package of Flash. Just install it and it works under Mandriva.
