Re: [newbie] How do you stop urpmi from cleaning download cache?

2005-02-25 Thread Mark Cooke
the --noclean option works fine, if using it from the command line,
but using the supplied gui in the Mandrake Control Center,  still
removes packages, and there is very limited options for the
configuration.

 Did you try no-clean ?
 The manual does not explicitly mention it, but other commands can be negated
 with 'no-'
 See man urpmi.cfg
