While were on the subject.... I've got 9.0 beta2, and an upgrade
from beta1 failed (I knew it would ;) so I had to do a fresh install
and lost my urpmi ftp sources (that were added with the old rpmdrake).
I finally got this to work and add ftp.sunet
tom# urpmi.addmedia cook-sunet
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS
with ../base/hdlist.cz
(all one command). BUT, that hdlist is 14mb, takes 45 minutes to
'urpmi.update cook-sunet' over dialup. I _must_ be doing somethin
wrong, even tho urpmi works just fine with ftp.sunet (?) Use to only
take a few minutes to add/update an ftp source with 9 beta1.
