For some reason, giving short names causes it to ask for the CDs, and sometimes it doesn't even ask for the right CDs. Giving full package names, however, or using wildcards causes it to look in the current directory. So this should work fine: # cd <directory where the samba server rpm is> # urpmi samba-server* --jay
