-   I seem to be having problems when trying to communicate online using my OS.

1) Mandrake Online - I have an account, yet I am never able to upload my configuration to the server.
2) SOftware Manager - I can communicate with the FTP and can successfully tell which applications and libraries need updating, but when I try to update them, Software Manager tells me "Bad, unreadable, or not found packages".

Please help?!?! Thank you very much.

-   1)mdk online seems to be working overtime these days. I was able to upload a
config today so give it another try.

2)It sounds like you may want to try a different mirror to download updates
off of.

Remember not to try a kernel upgrade with Software Manager.

-   I found that Mandrake Online is not very consistent. Keep re-trying to upload your configuration from
day to day. As far as software manager, be sure to have the exact address for FTP sites. The manager
can freeze and become a pain in the a$$.
