[SOLVED] Only installed software showing on MCC

[Garthhh]

Fresh install of Mageia2 KDE on a hp dc 5000 sff
I have a connection to the internet
I downloaded the iso from a torrent
when I go to mcc>install/remove software, on the default settings w/GUI & all
I only see the installed packages?
I usually install both chromium & chrome
when I go to the chrome site & download I get the error from the screenshot?

In RPMDrake have you enabled any media?

MCC > Install/Remove Software > Options > Media Manager.

[Garthhh]

whatever the defaults are as delivered
under

MCC > Install/Remove Software > Options > Media Manager
I don't see
"Enabling media"
as one of the options?

bad HDD
I had trouble with a HDD some time back, couldn't set the network time
I went to different one & everything works

thanks for your time tkmm
