If you are on dial-up, from a root console enter urpmi.addmedia --distrib cdrom removable://mnt/cdrom with CD1 in the drive. Skip this if you have broadband If you are on broadband go to http://www.urpmi-addmedia.org/index2.php and select sources from each group Whether on broadband or not, from that page you will want a plf source. Finally, follow Lanman's advice about adding your own rpm repository, and you should have a good working setup. When choosing your sources, from easyurpmi, bear time-zones in mind. If the mirror you choose is likely to be on a quiet phase at the time that you normally download that should give you a reaonable connection speed. Mirrors do vary on speed, but you can always change a mirror later if you have problems. Anne - -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?
