rpmdrake software update locations


I had another question about using the rpmdrake to update software. I wanted to add a location to download rpms from within the rpmdrake program, but it doesnt seem to work correctly.
I wanted to add a remote location to download some of the LPF files that mandrake cant support due to legal reasons, and its possible for me to download from the locations manually, but when i put them into the rpmdrake as a location, it says that they have bad signatures and that it cant download them. Is there a way to correct this or is it just not possible to set it up to download the lpf files?
I tried on a few different locations. Here is one that i have used the most:
http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linu...rake/9.2/i586/
If anyone knows anything that could help, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

yes
go to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/
and follow the instructions


i added the austria graz contrib source this morning (15MB)
there's LOADS of stuff there

make sure you select 9.2, the default is 9.1

make sure you enter the details into a terminal as root
(you can copy and paste it if you use the Konsole terminal)

once completed, you can start up Install Software, and chage the display to show "by source repositry"

Oh i completely understand now. In my other thread i started, they mentioned that site, but i think when i went to it it was having problems with its server or something. I had it bookmarked though and that site is great. I thought it was just a way to update through the web browser, not to add other sources. Thats just what i was looking for and it works perfectly. Thank you.
