After I rsync tonight I'll give that a try. However, I was trying to
figure out how to accomplish the task in X. Had you read above you
should have noticed the word "X". "Update software" is not a CLI
command, it is a menu selection, one of too many now that URPMI in X is
divided into different main menu choices. I used urpmi.addmedia from the
command line because doing the equivalent from X is too obtuse to figure
out.
