I wonder how long it will be before I can get a CD here in Oz. Not a chance in hell that I am even going to contemplate downloading an image on my tired ol 56k dialup

Never argue with an idiot.

Now you just made my one question turn into two.

On halt I'm getting a hang. Precisly at the same point each time. It says shutting down interface eth0: and then it'll stay there forever.

how do I rsync? just type that in the command line?

find a rsync server(sunsite.no has one) and read the man pages for rsync

I found an rmsync, I assume that is the same. I'll have to find the correct tags,
came with -p and -b tags, I'll have to read more as it didn't seem to be a complete command. Read the whole newbie guide at linux.org, but it didn't cover that. anyway, having the dual boot and all my "necessary" stuff on the other drive makes this worry free.

Once again, you people are helpful, thanks.

dont think so. rsync is something like ftp(but smarter). I don't think you have installed it so as root
#urpmi rsync

did that, says it is installed.
I can deal with the update later.
Any ideas on the error on shutdown?
My house setup is this, my main pc has ME and 8.1 on 2 separate drives. I connect to a router to access the net, the g-f is upstairs on a laptop (ME) and the router has a firewall.
I'm thinking the ETH is ethernet, I got the feeling something between linux and the router isn't letting go.Am I way off base?

Try (as root) ifdown eth0
That should work, and if not you will get an error-message why not.

It could be that the problem is not with the network but with what comes next. What that is you can see in /etc/rc6.d/
It is the next S[0-9][0-9]name

you should change the name of Mandrake..rc1.. to Mandrake..8.1..
and than run it.
