I went through the same thing today... there were no url's listed, and it
wouldn't update the list...

In Mdk7.2 in my case,,

for some reason, all the url's in the normal updates section disappeaared..

so I setup the dev section and opened one of the FTP urls in netscape, then
I chanced the url to just mandrake from mandrake-cooker and browsed to the
updates directory,,, copied the url back into software manager and off it
went..

make sure the url points only to the updates directory, not the specific
version of mdk inside it,, software update will open that directory by
itself...


worked fine for me..

Hi All,

Could someone tell me why I can't add a new source for rpms and get it to
actually work? Every time I add new one the software manager doesn't appear
to look at the new source. I have had absolutely no luck adding an ftp
location.

The Security update part doesn't work either. Nothing is found when updating
the list of mirrors and manually typing the location is useless as well.

TIA

Bryan
