Its on the cd's isn't it? I have no idea what the reason is, but I had problems with urpmi immediately after installation. Errors like "everything already installed" or "no package named xyz." I had to do a reinstall for a variety of reasons and this time, I didn't install the updates at the end of the install (someone on the list told me about that - can't remember who, I'm afraid) and as soon as I had booted into the new install, I deleted all the software sources from MCC (ie, the cd's) and used http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php to put together a complete set of sources including distro, updates, club, plf, tex, etc. I have had no problems since.
