Re: [expert] Config settings for urpmi to use 9.1 CDROMs

[Jason]

Well, in this case it's pretty straightforward (and I still consider 
myself a newbie!!):

urpmi.addmedia(8)               Mandrake Linux 
urpmi.addmedia(8)

NAME
       urpmi.addmedia - adds a new rpms media for use with urpmi
SYNOPSIS
       urpmi.addmedia [options] <name> <url>
DESCRIPTION
       urpmi.addmedia  tells  urpmi that he can find new rpms at the 
specified
       location. Currently  supported  medias  are:  local  drives, 
removable
       drives (such as cd's), networked like http, ftp, ssh and rsync.

       One of the following modes must be choosen:

       http:

         urpmi.addmedia  [options]  <name> 
http://<login>:<pass>@<host>/<path>
       [with <relative path of synthesis|hdlist>]
              Where  <name>  is your reference for the media (e.g. 
MandrakeUp-
              date).  <name> is optional if --distrib is given in options.
              <host>/<path> is the location of the rpm directory on the 
net.
              <relative path of hdlist> is the  pathname  where  to 
find  the
              hdlist of the rpms. The location is given relative to <path>.

and on from there with descriptions and samples....

Cheers

Sigh.... How often I have hear this, and how rarely have I found it to be 
true.  I have come to the conclusion that with man, if I need to ask the 
question, I won't understand the answer <g>
