urpmi.addmedia texstar

with hdlist.cz
All in one line ofcourse. Easy Urpmi should help here in question too.  

No dice.  This results in:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# urpmi.addmedia texstar 
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1 
with hdlist.cz 


This is not the full path.

If you do this it should work:

urpmi.addmedia texstar 
ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms 
with hdlist.cz
