Hi,  I have managed to fix up URPMI by reinstalling perl.  In doing so I had 
to remove "RPMtools" as it conflicts with a perl dependency "Packdrake".
I have now another 3 steps left to in attempting to fix my Linux without the 
reinstall,
they include ...
-getting my harddrake to work
- (which I believe should then lead to my cable internet working in Linux)
and finally getting the rpm package manager working so that I can use GUI to 
install rpm packages.

It seems to me as though harddrake, & rpmdrake have the same dependencies 
because when I attempt running them from the command prompt, I receive the 
same error message i.e. - "segmentation fault".

I am now attempting to install an updated version of the RPMtools package 
which doesn't seem to conflict with the "Packdrake" tool but instead comes 
up with the following error message.

***********************************************************************************
dependencies:        perl(Config::IniFiles) is needed by 
rpmtools-5.0.20-1mdk
***********************************************************************************

So now I'm about to download perl-Config-IniFiles-2.38-3mdk.noarch.rpm 
install it using rpm -Uvh and hope for the best.

Thanks once again guys for helping!
