Try this. I don't know if it will work or not. I don't want to screw
up my configuration by testing it. I find it is easier to use the
command line to add sources, but you're not me...so...here goes:
-KDE Menu =>Configuration => Packaging => Software Sources Manager
-If there is a sources named "updates" click on it and click on "Remove"
to remove it (obvious, I know).
-Click on "Add..."
-Click on "Local files"
-Name the source "updates"
-Browse to the local directory with all of the cooker files.
Everything went seemingly swimmingly to this point.
-Click "OK"
What about the checkbox for relative path to hdlists? I checked that, but no matter what I entered in the box, I'd always get an error message after it rattled the disk a while, either about not finding the hdlist file it wanted, or trouble parsing it.
That should do it. If it doesn't let me know.
For tonight, I'm going to try cli, & if that doesn't work, again via floppy installation boot update. Maybe tomorrow with more info I can get it to work.
You need to download the "base" directory in addition to the "RPMS" directory. "base" and "RPMS" are both in the same cooker directory on the server.
Then put "../base/hdlist.cz" as the path for the hdlist.
