[expert] urpi'ing cdroms

[andy weir]

hi,

I have LM8.0 and am trying to add CDROM's to the list of packages in
'software manager' with no sucess. When I urpmi a CDROM, the packages
appear in 'software manager', but I have never sucessfully managed to
install one of the packages.

I'm using:-

urpmi.addmedia give the cd a label
removable_cdrom://mnt/cdrom/rpm's directory

does anyone know anything obvious I'm doing wrong?

thanks again

[expert] KDevelop KDE libraries

[Andy Weir]

Hi all,

I'm new to the list, and fairly new to linux (I've been tinkering with
several distro's, but found Mandrake works best for me).

I am using Mandrake 8.0 and want to use KDevelop with kdelibs-devel, does
any use KDevelop and know what path I should set (I found all the headers
and stuf in one of the /usr directories, but when I use this path KDevelop
complains), is there a file with an index that KDevelop needs maybe?

Please can somebody help, because I want to put my newly discovered C++
skills to good use.

Many Thanks

Andy Weir

I have LM8.0 and a Hotmail account I want to use.

Does anyone know the/an easy way to do it?

Thanks again-again

[expert] Audio CDROM is invisable

[Andy Weir]

Hi for the final time (for now),

When I try to access an audio cdrom in Konqueror, I'm locked out (data
cdrom's automount fine).

I have two cd players (cdrom, and cdrw, on ide0 s, and ide 1 m
respectively), and I can only play the cd's with the cdplayer on the
first cdrom.

Do I need to check some boxes, or tinker with some configuration files
or something (a shove in the right direction is probably all I need).

Thanks (for the final time tonight/this morning)
