Actually it doesn't appear to have anything to do with the update-manager itself, as I tried enabling other items in the system menu and they too disable themselves a second after I check their boxes ! Definitely a good case for a bug report IMHO ! :-/ -- Vince <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> </blockquote> Agree, I've tried what you said and have the same problem.
