I'm sorry if I sound mad or "pissed off". I'm not :) I'm quite an easy
going person. Just seeking answers and asking questions to find them.
This is one of the downfalls of Email. hehehe....
How would I have urpmi update from only 8.2 sources... in other words,
where would I find a list of sources for urpmi. This is of course
assuming that all I need is to location the 8.2 version hdlist.cz
Forgive me since I am doing this, (updating,) for the first time, so I
am trying to find out as much as I can and understand everything. I do
enjoy working with rpm, urpmi and make install, just testing their
durability and finding out what they offer.
After all, if at first I don't succeed, try, try, try, try..........
you get the idea. ;P~~
