Are the rpms stored anywhere on my disk once they are

I do not know, but try looking at the urpmi config file (if you read man
urpmi you will see that the config file may be /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg


Thats where it is, but no mention of file cache location or similar,
just the path/details for the source repositories...

I do NOT wish to load the whole phreaking
lot over a 56k modem again. Also, has anyone got a copy
of mplayer working on their system, with ALL the extra
codecs (win32, avi, xvid, qt, etc...)??


I have it working from my gentoo install, but you kinda expect that from
gentoo :-)


Mandrake 9.1 is reputed to include MPlayer, but I BET it doesn't
include the codecs that let it actually play anything! :^(

Also, what the [EMAIL PROTECTED] does kdenetwork package have to do with
a stupid movie player?!


You must in some way have told it to get kdenetwork somehow - as a
dependency of something. Are you sure you are not doing a general update
on the system? what version of kde are you using at present?


I dug into that one a little more, and it needed that file to utilise
a couple of very small components of the kdenetwork package, so why
couldn't those small components be rpm'd separately, instead of in a
12MB monster file?! I have an unlimited net account, but only limited time to do this shit! And my mates are laughing that I cannot play even
common-as-horse-shit MPEG movies!! Grrr!!! :^( (they're very impressed
about every other aspect of the system though, except 3D graphics...soon
to be fixed when Dick Smith get me my free GeForce2 MX!)


I wasn't trying to update my sys, grpmi picked that file as a dependancy
when I first selected mplayer (now at ver 0.90rc4). Next time I tried it
left kdenetwork alone...(confused, you will be, you WILL be!) :^)

Hell, the ONLY movie that has worked on this machine has been a RealVideo off the net! ...and that was SLOOOOW!
