Use "urpmi.addmedia -f texstar

with hdlist.cz
Using the -f option forces the creation of an hdlist

Everyone keeps giving him the wrong path.

This is straight from the easyurpmi page:

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

This is guaranteed to work.
