Thanks My first suggestion is for you to specify what you wish to download and what you want to backup. But given the mentality associated with Windoze users (Outlook Express is not the favored news reader on most Linux fora), my second suggestion is for you to pay Willy Gates some more money and he will be happy to provide you with some more rubbish. If you don't get what you want, you probably will not know the difference anyway, or you would have been more precise in your request. My third suggestion, predicated on the possibility that you have a machine running Mandrake 8.1, is upgrade to at least Mandriva 2006, and to 2007.1 if your hardwarewill support it (256 MB RAM required). There are many security vulnerabilities, bugs, and other problems in the old software that have been corrected, and new capabilities added. Oh, yes, you asked for suggestions on a site. Mandrake 8.1 came with software for making backups, so maybe you just need to look at your own site. No cheers! jim b. -- UNIX is not user-unfriendly; it merely expects users to be computer-friendly.

Thanks I've read your question multiple times and can't make any sense of it. Mandrake 8.1 is too old.

Thanks Just stick with windoze, dimwit. -- "Bother!" said Pooh, as Christopher Robin pleaded to be spanked again.

Here in alt.os.linux.mandrake, Dan Espen <daneNO(a)MORE.mk.SPAMtelcordia.com> spake unto us, saying: >Mandrake 8.1 is too old. It's certainly old, but it runs in places (and supports some types of hardware) which most newer distros (even newer Mandrake and Mandriva flavors) can't handle properly. -- -Rich Steiner >>>---> http://www.visi.com/~rsteiner >>>---> Mableton, GA USA Mainframe/Unix bit twiddler by day, OS/2+Linux+DOS hobbyist by night.
