It is fairly easy. I usually go in the directory and make a "genhdlist ." then I can add it with usual "urpmi.addmedia name file://path/to/repository with hdlist.cz" If you was in /path/to/ and made a 'genhdlist repository' you have to 'urpmi.addmedia name file://path/to/repository with ../hdlist.cz At least this is how I understood it and it worked here several times. > So - here comes my request.
