-   I'm having a terrible time installing 9.0.


My latest issues are these:

1. The Terminal Shell does not recognize the changes saved with the Konsole shell.

2. Mandrake Update fails:

the issue here reports back in a seperate Pop-up window:

Error adding update medium

There was an error while adding the update medium via urpmi.

This may due to a broken or temporary unavailable mirror, or when your Mandrake Linux version (9.0) is not yet / no more supported by Mandrake Linuux
Official updates.

I've tried all of the official mirrors with the same problem. Now what?

-   You are probably behind a proxy or router, so you have to manually update, do
the following:

1. Edit file /etc/wgetrc if you are behind a router, comment:

#passive_ftp=on

if you are behind a proxy setup the proxy in wgetrc

2. Add the update location as a new source:

urpmi.addmedia --wget updates
ftp://mirrors.secsup.org/pub/linux/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS with
../base/hdlist.cz

this will download the sourcelist, now you can run an auto update by using
command:

urpmi --wget --auto-select

For more infos about the command line tool, just look at the man page:

man urpmi
man urpmi.addmedia

etc.

To the problem with the Terminal shell, what exactly did you change and how
did you do it?
