Hi all,
I run 10CE on my machine, for one or two reasons,
and recently I suffered a HDD failure, and had to do a complete reinstall onto a
new HDD.
I had to download a new ISO set, as one of my CD's
was damaged, and would no longer be seen by my CD ROM drive.
Trouble is, The ISO is corrupt for the 1st install
CD, and it has some pretty vital packages missing, such as Perl, Drakxtools
& Pango to name a few, and KDE is all but inoperative too.
I have managed to get the machine onto the net, and
can get it to boot into ICEWM, but all my GUI configuration tools are missing
(rpmdrake etc).
Is there any way I can URPMI stuff whilst working
in console? I have managed to "urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp. etc etc", so the source is set, but what next? I
really want to download every single update, to try and get it up and running
again.....
Is there a way to urpmi every single package in the
ftp directory, without having to enter each individual package name?. I tried to
"urpmi kde* libkde*" but nothing happened, I got a no such file error... I'm
assuming I am doing something wrong!
Can anybody offer some advice? using windows XP is
doing my head in, and I want to get back to linux!
Many thanks,
James
