Some examples urpmi commands. All the following can also be done by using Mandrake Control Centre. This meant for console use. ************ This examples refer to my setup - your paths etc will be different.. Add a CD to media.... urpmi.addmedia updateCD4 removable://mnt/cdrom/updates/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz remove this CD from media.... urpmi.removemedia updateCD4 *************** Add a CD that was burned from a download from a website... urpmi.addmedia updateCDweb removable://mnt/cdrom/ManUpdates/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz urpmi.removemedia updateCD4web *************** List the available media that was added.... urpmq --list-media (watch it urpm ends with q ) *************** THIS will only work before the media was used to update.... To check if the media you want to use is OK.... urpmq --auto-select --media updateCD4 to check more than one same time urpmq --auto-select --media updateCD4,updateCDweb (no spaces either side of comma) *************** For this to work you have to be connected...to save time while connected make a little script and run..(should you need more info on Add a internet website... urpmi.addmedia --update FranceLyon ftp://ftp.fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/Mandrake/updates/9.1/RPMS/ with ../base/hdlist.cz ######## a lot of links can be found at easy urpmi .... http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php *************** If you have removed all your media like in... urpmi.removemedia -a You will find that your installation CD's are missing from the list To readd your cd sources do:......... Put CD1 in the drive and in root terminal type: urpmi.addmedia --distrib cdrom removable://mnt/cdrom ***************
