I'd recommend doing everything on the Linux side. urpmi.addmedia is your friend. Olivier Thauvin has put together a nice little tool to help you add urpmi sources: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/ Myself, I have it all here, since I'm building it, and then I nfs share it to the other machines. (4 running various states of cooker - still fighting with the installer on the 7600). So in my case my urpmi source is an nfs mount from another machine or a local directory: Powerbook: [root@powerbook root]# cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg cooker //mnt/nfs { hdlist: hdlist.cooker.cz list: list.cooker } RS6000: [stew@rs6000 bin]$ cat /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg cooker //mnt/disk/RPMS { hdlist: hdlist.cooker.cz list: list.cooker } If you are using a remote repository, yours will look slightly different. man urpmi.addmedia goes into more detail. Once you have your source setup, then staying up to date with cooker is simply a matter of regularly doing urpmi.update cooker urpmi --auto-select (That is once you've done the initial transition from 8.2->cooker) Stew Benedict -- MandrakeSoft PPC FAQ: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ppcFAQ.php3 IRC: irc.openproject.net #cooker-ppc Archives: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=mandrake-cooker-ppc&r=1&w=2
