Question Problem Updating Packages


I am running Mandriva Linux 10.2 (2005 Limited Edition)

I just recently downloaded it off of the main mandriva website, and many of the programs and packages are up to date.

I would like to upgrade these packages, however none of the links in the Software Media Manager are up to date! They all tell me they cannot be reached. I could not find *one* http or ftp link that worked for me.

Can anyone tell me why I can't update my packages, or how I can fix this problem? Thanks.

-Andrew

What do you want to upgrade to? mandrivauser.de/smarturpmi should get you going.

This is the site which seems to be most often recommended: http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

That doesn't mean that's the best. The site I gave also monitors the mirrors how update they are.
