Actually, it is not that hard. If you've found a good, up to date mirror, you can do it along these lines : Open a terminal, become root and type : urpmi.addmedia main <here you can copy & paste the URL of the ftp server from i.e. a browsers address field, when you are in the correct directory>. Then go back to the browser, go up parent directories until you are in the <base directory>. Notice how many times you have to go up. Now, be sure to find a file in the base directory called hdlist.cz. Go back to your root command line, and append to your previous line : with ../../../base/hdlist.cz (where the ../ represents one directory up). Finally, run the command. Repeat those steps for every source, i.e. contrib, updates and so on. HTH Kaj Haulrich. -- * Sent from a 100 % Microsoft-free computer * * running Linux kernel 2.6.4 on Mandrake 10.0 *
