Hi all: In response to Thomas Adams, I was using YOU to update and as I said this does work on my homemachine using 7.2 but at school I am going through a proxy. I was also using SuSE as a proxy and that would not update. The school has decommissioned the SuSE box and I am now going straight out to the RM server which is using Squid by the messages I get. I have not tried to look at the messages yet but will if I get some time next week. It is not that critical as I have not implemented the Linux machines full time but will soon and it is a nice illustration to kids of the upgradeability of Linux. I'll lookat the messagesand get back. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced this. Paul

Paul, I had a quick look through SuSE's support database on-line (while programming in Ada at Uni..tut tut). I could not see anything which relates to the problem you are having. The only thing that I can think of is if your proxy server is sitting behind a firewall which prevents you updating....... Incidentally, if you goto "www.linuxgazette.com" and look at the December issue (in a couple of days time) I will be writing an article in the use/howto of Squid and SquidGuard and there will be copies of my "squidlog" and "loop4mail" programs.
