Hi, all
It already bothered me for a while since mandrake 9.0
to current 9.2.
Usually I mirror a copy of mandrake linux and install
from that hard disk partition. I works well and really
fast. But when I tried to add some package,software
manager always told me that file was missing. If I
change the source to a local ftp mirror,this problem
won't happen. How can I verify or setup a source
profile, so I can save some bandwidth?
Thanks,
I have found, also, that hd installs don't configure sources for some
time. The simplest way to deal with this that I know is to open mcc
Software Management Software Media Manager. Add a local source for
each RPMS directory. I am using ../base/hdlist*.cz for the relative
path to the hdlist and name the sources siimply CD1, CD2, etc. You
might also want to edit /var/cache/urpmi/partial/hdlists to remove the
sources install apparently adds for the Power Pack that the download
does not have and that result in 'can not find' errors whenever urpm* is
run. You might also take the official names of the sources from this file.
