I have somewhat answered my own question - I have found urpmi, and found out
about urpmi.addmedia to let me add a source. But I'm not exactly sure what
URL I need to put in. My guess is:

urpmi.addmedia
ftp://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake-devel/coo
ker/ppc/Mandrake/base/ with hdlist1.cz

Does this look right?  When I run it, I get some errors such as 'No such
file 'descriptions''. And after the media is added, when I try to do 'urpmi
evolution' it seems to try and download the dependencies, but in fact states
that the files do not exist on the server. Does the problem perhaps lie in
distro.ibiblio.org, or did I set up my media incorrectly?
