I installed Mandrake 8.2, from scratch on my system, from the prosuite DVD. This DVD comes with many commercial apps. I now have an icon on the desktop named "commercial CD", which gives me a list off apps. If I click the "install" link next to one of the apps I get the installation instructions which read something like:
1- use either the Software Manager to install this program 2 - or as 'root' from the command line: urpmi ac3d-mdk-cdcom-1-1mdk.i586.rpm Neither of these methods work. 1- the Software manager doesn't list any of the applications (that sit in the applications subdir on the DVD) 2- urpmi doesn't find the necessary rpms The software manager is basically a GUI on top of urpmi, so I guess urpmi just hasn't been properly configured upon installation. How can this oversicht be repaired? I know that I can just go to the application directories and do an rpm -U *.rpm there and get the apps, but I'm having newbies in mind here. When the information coming with Mandrake gives the impression that somthing ought to work in a particular way, than it very well should.
