Yes you can.
First disable automount (at least for me I get better results that way)
as su/root.(don't use the quotes)
"supermount -i disable"
then stick in the cdrom and mount it.
"mount  /mnt/cdrom"
then:

"urpmi.addmedia  [name] removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/ with 
../base/hdlist.cz"

where [name] is the name your system gave the install cd, which should be 
almost (2=1) the same  as the one given to the second cd.
If in doubt look in /var/lib/urpmi/ what everything is called, that's the 
../base/ directory.

And it should update.

Good luck,
HarM
Stick cd1 in the drive
