[newbie] Putting back cd's as sources
Ok, so I did a dumb-ass thing, following easy rpmi's suggestion last night when I added contrib as a source I reinitialized urpmi's setup, therefore of course my cd sources are gone. Don't know if I'll really need them again, but I would feel better if they were listed, so, how do I put them back? Checked the archives and didn't run across my specific problem. -- Regards Chris A 100% Microsoft free computer Registered Linux User 283774 http://counter.li.org 7:15pm up 3 days, 1:26, 5 users, load average: 0.01, 0.06, 0.06 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
