As best as I understand it now operates at its own descretion as to the fetching and listings of available pkgs this to correct a problem in the previous release with using systhesis only rather than hdlist. I am GUI man so I stick with rpmdrake and have used it only for ftp or cooker sources. My only attempt at a local source was from cd-rom and this failed with unable to read hdlist. It could very well be that rather than a procedure problem using urpmi that it is a problem in the build. I would post to cooker and hopefully Francois will respond. Charles
