[ATrpms-users] Re: Error messages when retrieving updates

I realize you must get very fed up with stupid questions, but in case you 
dont :)

1. How do I change the selected source server like you suggested.
2. What 'list' are you referring to?

Please check and use the mailing lists, this is a well known issue.

No, freshrpms' master server is broken, try to find another server,
e.g. ayo.us instead of ayo.

ATrpms will offer the vendor packages, too. I was relaying on
freshrpms providing this service until now, but I need to set it up
for ATrpms proper.
