Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I had been down that route with no luck. I issued the command
/etc/init.d/rcd start
and then tried the command
rug channels
It gave me the message
Warning --- No channels available ---
Very strange, but try
rug service-add http://red-carpet.ximian.com
and
rug service-add http://open-carpet.org
then try "rug subscribe redcarpet2" again
Anders, Thanks very much for the reply. Unfortunately, the two commands you suggested both give the same error, which I set out below. ERROR: Unable to mount service for 'http://open-carpet.org': Unable to download service info: IO error - Soup error: Bad Request (400) In reading the man pages for rcd, it says there should be a file called /var/lib/rcd/services.xml which lists servers from which you can download software and /var/lib/rcd/subscriptions.xml which lists channel subscription information. Neither of these files is present, which would certainly explain why i get a message saying no channels are available. Mike -- Michael A.
