You can use smart at any given time if you have it installed. smart --gui will get you going. smart --channel or smart --help will tell you a ton of information. Using the gui is pretty intuitive. Also, easyurpmi.zarb.org can give you the commands for smart as it does for urpmi. We are in the middle of incorporating smart into the 5 sites at http://urpmi-addmedia.org as well. I'm hoping to have that done by end of the month at the latest.
