-   Hi,

I performed the steps on the site of the easy-urpmi-setup. But now my urpmi forgot all about the cd's and it only knows the servers.

So how do I get it to recognize the cd's as a place to find packages too again?

Thanks ahead!

Michael

-   And one more thing now I'm at it:

How do I get my urpmi-database to update his database on what is available on the server?

Thanks again,

Michael

-   First, verify what media you have:

# urpmi.update (just hit enter and it will list the media currently installed)

If the CDs are no longer there, follow the directions at
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/jwrobinson/docs/urpmi-howto/tools.html#urpmi.addmedia
to get them back.

As for your second question use either:

# urpmi.update -a (which will update all media)
# urpmi.update foo (where 'foo' is the name of the media you want to update,
provided by typing 'urpmi.update' without arguements)
