Sorry, there is a "." when there should be a "/", my bad on that one. I
tried it in the browser (mozilla 1.0.2 on win32 and it wouldnt let me
connect, so i am using the you gave me....
Ok, i used the one you gave me and put in the correct info:
# urpmi.addmedia --update Updates
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS with
../base/hdlist.cz
added medium Updates

}

It did not update the urpmi.cfg file and it still errored out. The line at
869 in the file listed in the error is as follows:
($medium->{start}, $medium->{end}) =
$urpm->parse_synthesis("$urpm->{statedir}/synthesis.$medium->{hdlist}");
I do not know what this means. Any ideas?
Also.......
# find / -name "*synthesis.*"
/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 1 (x86).cz
/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.Installation CD 2 (x86).cz
/var/lib/urpmi/synthesis.hdlist.International CD (x86).cz
Are the only files found.
Thanks
