In order to add a urpmi repository, it must provide a hdlist. That is done with tools related to genhdlist. The process is not well documented as far as I know. I cd to the directory containing the files and # genhdlist `pwd` And then add it to the media list. You _should_ be able to do it with urpmi.addmedia using the -f option, like: # urpmi.addmedia -f <repository name> file://<path to your local files> but I always get an error like: Can't use string ("MyRPM") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/urpm.pm line 914. I have no idea what to do about that and I'm probably doing this all woring as well. The following links might help us if they were in English: http://lis.snv.jussieu.fr/~rousse/linux/urpmi.html http://linux-wizard.tuxfamily.org/howto_cooker.html#urpmi I would really like to find a site similar to: http://www.linuxworks.com.au/redhat-installer-howto.html -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com A -- Top posting.
