You can use urpmi.addmedia to add in web sources and/or sources on the local network.

Had a quick look on tightvnc's webpage, and the suggested vncserver command pulls up a "sh: line 1: vncserver: command not found" error It is installed, webmin see's it as an installed rmp. Am I missing something simple? Or do I need to write a config file?
