thank you for the explanation. it did not work, the package source manager of my Mandrakelinux Control Center 10 still only listed the 3 install CDs, but i now added your ftp source there.
i do use mandrake 10.1 official, what do you use as main source ? unfortunately http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ is often down these days.
is it possible that my system has configuration files in read-only ? when i open a console, it says: "bash: TMOUT: readonly variable"
i also tried to change the language using LocaleDrake and after a reboot everything is still in german, although LocaleDrake now lists english as i want it.
is there another way to change the language used by kde ?
I wonder if that message "bash: TMOUT: readonly variable" may be because you have set a high security level?
i never tried that. how can i verify ?
That might also explain why you are unable to use su to become root user. (If that is why you are unable to use 'urpmi.addmedia') For a desktop computer 'standard' security level is quite adequate.
see below how doing your command in su works, but it does not change the sources i can see in the control panel. (khttrack is working now, thank you.)
If you want to define an online source for 'main' so you can remove the CD sources, then use this command (or similar if you prefer a different mirror)
