The continuing saga - right after my last post on this setup started 
reporting the same packages for both the WinXP and the Win2k machine as 
it should and that as worked for several checks since then but now today 
and this is too weird - I went to update using setup and all both the 
WinXp and the Win2k laptop both reported a boat load full of packages 
that needed updating and in most cases the new was less than the 
current.

I am still using the same mirrors as documented above.

Any thought on this as all?  Why I keep seeing this and now it happened 
on both machines not just the Win2k.

Thanks
