I am running Mandrake 9.0 in KDE. In Mandrake Control Center--Software
Management--Software Sources Manager, there are 4 sources: CD1, CD2, CD3 (of the
distro) and update_source. I wanted to remove update_source so I can change the
FTP mirror, but I accidentally removed all sources. How do I get them back now: CD1,
CD2, and CD3 sources?
Will it matter for upgrading the packages now that the sources (3CDs) aren't
listed? Please help.
Your mail client does not wrap its characters at between 70 and 80
characters. Can you check to see if it will do that? Thanks.
There is a way to manually add them back. Go into Mandrake Control
Center and select Sources and add them using that. If you prefer to do
it from the commandline, you can do it in the form:
urpmi.addmedia CD1 removeable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS with
../base.hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia CD2 removeable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS2 with
../base.hdlist2.cz
urpmi.addmedia CD3 removeable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS3 with
../base.hdlist3.cz
Note that you do not need to switch disks with these commands as all the
hdlists are on the first cd and that's really all the command is
reading.
