Thanks again Alastair. I figured the urpmi.update cooker command out last 
night. Just tried it and only had a total of 186 MB to choose from. Bit 
slower connection this time though, only 286 KB/sec. Too many people crossing 
the Atlantic at this time of day I suppose. :-)

Any idea what to do about packages that aren't or are incorrectly signed? I 
keep ignoring them and not installing but it's probably just happening 'cause 
everything is changing so fast. I haven't tried the auto select command 
because I like to read the details about the things I'm downloading and 
installing since everything GNU/Linux is a learning experience for me.

You'll notice that I actually remembered to send this only once (to the list 
and not both on-list and direct to you) this time. Seems all of your messages 
are triggering a direct response since the headers show a 'reply to:' your 
address instead of the list.

Peace;
