Frank, No need for scripts, their is a directory you can copy across some of the files and it will update, I did it 3 weeks ago. I think it is /etc/urpmi, I will check tonight when I get home. But you copy the config file and the lists, then do an update.

I'll have to give some thought to this.. a shell script seems the most likely candidate... its a shame you can't export sources to a shell script from urpmi.. automate the process as it were, that would be handy.. guess it'll probably happen at some stage down the line.. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of James Sparenberg Sent: Monday, 2 December 2002 5:48 AM To: Expert List Subject: Re: [expert] urpmi --auto-select Couple of new questions abouturpmi and installing big apps... What would be helpful in a case like this is to be able to do what PLF did. (actually I got it from Ranger's site) but somehow a PLF CD was created that you install from as if it was CD1 and it contains PLF's rpms This gets moved into a new category called PLF (duh!) and then it hands off to disc ... continues the install and asks for PLF at the end, Even if it were just possible to redo disk 3 (there is a ton of room on it) You would then have the disks available and could create rpms of data files you need. Just my 2 cents. James On Sun, 2002-12-01 at 10:36, Hoyt Duff wrote: > On Sunday 01 December 2002 10:43 am, Franki scribbled in crayon on a yellow > legal pad: > > 1.
