Keith,
Just to give you a few more tidbits of knowledge...
The GUI interface to urpmi is just layered on top of the command line
urpmi. Last I checked in the Gnome System Monitor the urpmi GUI
actually runs the urpmi command line as a child process.
If you ever need to configure another program like this take a look in
/etc which is where most system configuration files are located. Just
look to see if there is a file with the same name For example:
X.org, Samba, Secure SHell (SSH). Just remember that you need to be
root and you can mess up your system if you goof. As was already
mentioned you should make a backup copy of the config file you intend
to edit.
If you want to make configuration changes that are specific to an
individual user you can find these in the user's home directory
(/home/user_name). These configuration files and directories are
hidden with a preceding dot (example: /home/me/.bash_profile ). To
view these files you can type "ls -a" or in your file browser of
choice you can tell it to show hidden files. It would save you
headaches if you also backup these files before editing so you don't
have to try and remember what you changed if you goof. However,
breaking these files are only detrimental to that individual user and
won't affect the entire system.
