At the MDK ftp updates site, there is a folder called "9.2". Inside that folder are three folders (Base, RPMS, and SRPMS) and a few loose files (descriptions, ls-lR, md5sums) [I'm not sure if that one file is "ls-lR", or "Is-IR" (or something else?). Anyway...

To lessen my own confusion a bit, I did the following: I created three new directories (by the way...where's the most logical place to put such directories?), and copied/pasted the contents of their corresponding folders from the CD-R: 1) /MDKUpdateRPMS 2) /MDKUpdateSRPMS 3) /MDKUpdateBase (I also put the three loose files in here) Then, I added each of those new directories to the list of places to look for updated files. Here's how I added the new directories: "K" menu, then to "Configuration/Packaging/Software Media Manager". Was that the right place to deal with that to make the files available to "urpmi"? >> 2) If I do have all the files on one CD-R, what is the best way to >> install what's needed and/or wanted? > Put them all in one directory available from Linux. Again...where's the most logical place to put such a directory? For the moment, I've placed them under /home/melissa/... > The command is urpmi --auto-select --update > This will install all the security fixes and updates based on the > packages you already have installed, in other words, updating them > to the latest versions. Oops! Here's what I get from that command: "Everything is already installed" What am I doing wrong here?
