One of my remote machines (8.1) is 2 hours away, with only 31.2kb modem access;
so I loaded the ISO images onto the HD figuring I could install proggies
remotely. I'm trying to install gnucash for the user. Gnucash has a load of
dependencies, so I thought urpmi would ease the process...
I tried:
# mount -o loop /home/ISO/Mandrake81-cd1-inst.i586.iso /mnt/cd1
# urpmi.addmedia cdrom1 file:///mnt/cd1 with Mandrake/base/hdlist1.cz
[snip]
(likewise for CD2 and CD3)
"file:///mnt..." because the docs say "file://<path>" and <path> is
"/mnt/cd..."; hence "///".
Even after deleting the default /dev/cdrom stuff from /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg,
urpmi.addmedia still insists on setting it up to use /dev/cdrom...
Finally edited /var/lib/urpmi/list.cdrom1 to fix the broken paths from
"/mnt/cd1/" to "/mnt/cd1/Mandrake/RPMS/" (see below). For some reason, unlike
CD1, CD2 in /var/lib/urpmi/list.cdrom2 got the correct path so I only changed
"///" to "//"; then the install proceeded...
TFM is not exactly clear...

The above urpmi setup (before manual fixing) results in:
# urpmi /mnt/cd2/Mandrake/RPMS2/gnucash-1.6.2-3mdk.i586.rpm
