PLF packages are not included in any Mandrake Pack for legal reasons (mostly in the US for the moment). If you have more than 3 CDs in your urpmi database they are already configured. You just have to add a PLF source. PLF packages are usually ok to install even with a 56K modem.

I tried the well-regarded site: http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/
to "fix" my urpmi. It did, incompletely. Many of the sites were either unavailable or broken such that urpmi still fails quite often when I try to use it. Anyway, I would like to add the 9.0 CDs to the urpmi database in place of many of the website-based sources. I only have a 56k modem conne tion and doing upgrades/installs online is painful and inefficient.
How do I add the CDs (I have the 9.0 box set - Powersuite) to the database? I don't mind leaving some inet sites in the database, obviously updates or unsupported, but for basics like main, I need/prefer the CDs as they are right here and far faster than the web.
