For urpmq --fuzzy you need to supply a string parameter For example urpmq --fuzzy samba That error with "medium "contrib" uses an invalid list file: mirror is probably not up-to-date, trying to use alternate method" is a temporary issue because the list file on the mirrors is currently out of date. It does not affect the operation of urpmi. It is just an annoyance. To remove your CD media type urpmi.removemedia You will be given a list of all the urpmi sources, then urpmi.removemedia media_name will remove a specific media.
