urpmi.setup (urpmi.setup-0.4.4-4mdk.noarch.rpm) is probly the easiest way to add cooker sources, main and contrib. Tho I still use urpmi.addmedia on the CL. I type 'cook' to update cooker, alias cook='urpmi.update -f -a --wget && urpmi --no-verify-rpm --auto-select -v' The -f -a forces the update of all enabled sources, no-verify-rpm is needed for rpms you don't have the key for. Updates to cooker should be done "by hand", mostly since the mirrors are so often in a state of flux. Use of --auto is not a good idea. That will often fail, and could even lead to urpmi uninstalling most of your system. Many times it's necessary to try several mirrors as some files may be missing on some mirrors, or the hdlist is incorrect. SSM (edit-urpm-sources.pl) makes this quick an easy. Just check or uncheck the sources you want to dis/enable, ie, to switch mirrors. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas
