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!
