For your convenience, here it is :
<quote> When using urpmi or rpmdrake, there is an error about package not found before accessing the CD-ROM. Another possible error message is "Everything already installed." Why: The installer misconfigured the medium description of Contribution packages. Solution: Insert the Installation CD (CD-ROM #1) and issue the command "urpmi.update cdrom8" as root. </quote> HTH Kaj haulrich. -- Registered Linux user # 214073 at http://counter.li.org Powered by Linux - Mandrake 9.0 - kernel 2.4.19.24 Brought to you from my 100 % Micro$oft-free computer.
