Until I understand how to handle a single source, I don't want multiple
sources. I have one and only one source for this machine, my rsync
mirror of the sunet.se cooker mirror. What I'm actually trying to do is
figure out the awful X interface for package management. I used the one
cli command urpmi.addmedia as a shortcut, since I couldn't even figure
how to get the X interface to do a single useful update thing. How to I
use the X interface to make the original source equal to the updates
source?
