Hi,

Can you tell me how to correct this. I tried running:

urpmi.addmedia Distro_9.0 ftp://ftp.nmt.edu/pub/linux/mandrake/9.0/ with ./synthesis.hdlist.cz

and got:

added medium Distro_9.0
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Updates for Mandrake Linux 9.0 (ftp1u).cz]
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Carl Download Area.cz]
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu.cz]

retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "Distro_9.0"...
curl: (19) synthesis.hdlist.cz: No such file or directory.
...retrieving failed: curl failed: exited with 19 or signal 0

retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed
no hdlist file found for medium "Distro_9.0"
examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Distro_9.0.cz]
problem reading synthesis file of medium "Distro_9.0"
unable to update medium "Distro_9.0"


Do I need to run something else to create synthesis.hdlist.cz?

Thanks,
Carl

Hi hope someone can help me.
currently I have the whole mandrake 9.0 source tree plus contrib on my
HD.
I want to delete this, and have urpmi point to an http mirror or ftp
mirror how do I set this up.
I have tried using Mandrakes control center but with no success.
Thanks

Remove your CD sources using rpmdrake, (but keep contrib) and then in a root terminal (while online)

urpmi.addmedia Distro_9.0 ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/ with ./synthesis.hdlist.cz

(This command on one line)

Or some other mirror if you prefer.
