oh, got it. it's genhdlist, e.g. (approximately), mkdir /root/RPM cp -f /mnt/remote-cd1/Mandrake/RPMS/* /root/RPM cp -f /mnt/remote-cd2/RPMS2/* /root/RPM cp -f /mnt/remote-cd3/RPMS3/* /root/RPM cd /root/RPM rm -f synthesis* rm -f hdlist*.cz genhdlist and now i can do: urpmi.removemedia -a urpmi.addmedia cd-all file://root/RPM --with hdlist.cz (not tested exactly that way, i put all my RPMs on an HTTP server here, so it can be accessed from all the PCs on the network). cool. sorry for documenting this here ha. convenient kasi, so i can google "hdlist Mandrake RPM [plug]" and find it easily :). tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" Let us cross over the river and rest in the shade of the trees.
