Whoops.. sorry my mistake. I cannot even cut and paste properly it should be
urpmi.addmedia Distro_9.0
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS
with ./synthesis.hdlist.cz
I do recommend that rediris server. It is really fast. :)

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
Aaron
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.
