Hi Folks,

as I'm a kind of an Old Unix guy, and having lots of Mirror Sites I'm getting RPMS, Sources etc. from onto my server-harddrives, I wanted to add the RPM's at least into the Software Repository to use with the Mdk-Software Installer.

I do see in the normal directories, that the base directory holds the old well known hdlist.cz etc. files. Trying to create these using the genhdlist program generates me some files, but these are not accepted by the Software Source manager of the direct command line using the urpmi programm. The Error message is:

Unable to update medium; It will be automatically disabled.

I was up to now unable to find detailed documentation on how to really use it genhdlist, or to create a valid RPM Repository.

So - here comes my request. Anyone has a Howto hanging around or a Link to decent Documentation ?

If using genhdlist is the wrong way of doing it. Anyone has a Pointer into the right direction ? I seeked the Internet foir several hours for the correct hints, but so far without success...

Thx for your help :)

Cheers

        Joerg
