Yes, urpmi works well but since I'm forced to go online under Windows I have to 
resolve the dependencies myself.

  Are you perhaps using a different flavor of

Just the commom garden-variety Mandriva 2008.0.

  Regardless, I'm glad to hear you got it resoloved.  No

There is only one 3G network available to me and the ISP provided Chineese modem 
won't work under Mandriva 2008. It did work under Mandriva 2006 but it was 
troublesome.

I have to agree with you Lee. I used Red Hat for a couple of years until a bug 
in the C compiler occurred that Red Hat seemed slow to resolve. Mandrake 7.1 had 
just been released so I tried it and have updated each version since.

I have tried other distributions in the hope that I can get my modem going, but 
so far, without success.
