I managed to add: urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.some-server.com/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.some-server.com/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrakelinux/official/10.0/contrib/i586/ with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz But media updates: still missing, is there some diffrence to add updates? And also something strange behaviour urpmi calculate depencies twice when I say: # urpmi.update -a But it works and I can install packages, only updates doesn't work. best rgds ~tt
