This might help you.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] test]$ cat /etc/cron.weekly/update_mdk #!/bin/bash #Keeps the system updated urpmi.update -a --wget && urpmi --wget --auto --auto-select --no-verify-rpm [EMAIL PROTECTED] test]$
you might want to change that to just get the updates, this first get new list from all of the defined urpmi-sources (urpmi.update -a), then updates all the installed packages (--auto-select), with no confirmation (--auto), regardless of not signed rpms (--no-verify-rpm), both operations using wget instead of curl. Since it's in cron.weekly, well once a week...
This is on my destop, a produktion server proberbly needs restart of updated programs.

Thanks Bjorn. I appreciate it. I was testing a few commands. After adding my media, I tried to update all the media with this:
$ urpmi.update -a retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "updates"... ...retrieving done examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.updates.cz] computing md5sum of existing source hdlist (or synthesis) examining MD5SUM file retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "main"... computing md5sum of retrieved source hdlist (or synthesis) ...retrieving failed: md5sum mismatch retrieve of source hdlist (or synthesis) failed no hdlist file found for medium "main" examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.main.cz] retrieving source hdlist (or synthesis) of "contrib"... ...retrieving done examining synthesis file [/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.contrib.cz]
Ok..updates seemed to have worked as did contrib, but main failed. Any particular reason why this may have happened?
It seems that when "main" fails, I cant get a full listing of regular packages, like samba (2.2.8a).
Is the best way to fix this to remove the media, and add a different media?
I appreciate it.
