Yes you can.
First disable automount (at least for me I get better results that way)
as su/root.(don't use the quotes)
"supermount -i disable"
then stick in the cdrom and mount it.
"mount /mnt/cdrom"
then:
"urpmi.addmedia [name] removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS/ with
../base/hdlist.cz"
where [name] is the name your system gave the install cd, which should be
almost (2=1) the same as the one given to the second cd.
If in doubt look in /var/lib/urpmi/ what everything is called, that's the
../base/ directory.
And it should update.
Good luck,
HarM
Stick cd1 in the drive
