[newbie] Urpmi TWiki out of date
Greetings, I was just looking at the Urpmi TWiki at http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/UsingUrpmi and It says to copy the base/ and Mandrake/ directories to a foler you create on the hard drive. My CDs (10.1) do not have these two folders, which leads me to believe the TWiki is out of date. My question is, which folders should I copy over?

You're looking at a fresh install from my experience. It took me about 2 hours to find out that I could have re-installed faster then fixing the problem. Your problem occurred because urpmi tried to upgrade Perl, which is required for urpmi as well as MCC and a whack of other apps. It will be a lot less painful and faster to re-install. Just make sure that you don't let the installer touch your /home partition. It's OK if it wants to create a mount point for it, but that should be all. Hope that helps.

And I typed from my user's PATH, which is different than root's, sorry) On my other system, which is not custom but a fresh install, root's .bashrc is also setting the $PATH PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin Then /etc/profile seems to add /usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/games A look in rc.sysinit (which is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit) for the global path statements, verifing these lines: rc.sysinit: # Set the path rc.sysinit: PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin you have these in your posted path, *except* /usr/sbin/ Verify that it is missing in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file, if so, add it, reboot and you should be back on track.

[newbie] URPMI Issue??
When I try to install something via urpmi I get the follwoing error? "error: failed to stat /home/data_on_wxps1: Input/output error" Now, /home/data_... is an old local directory that I had a rpm dir. mirrored to. Since then I have changed the dir where I rsync rpms to. I also updated all the media but it is still looking for the old dir? I can't figure out where or why it is still looking for this directory. urpmi still works, it is just really slow? urpmi -clean did not fix this issue? Thanks H.

If so, use the GUI manager for urpmi, and *if* you can find the package in question listed, in either remove or install, look at the file listing in the right plane.

[newbie] urpmi and putting disks on HD
I looked at the urpmi page in the TWiki, and saw that it should be possible to copy the install disks to my hard drive and make urpmi look there instead of asking for the CDs. But I cannot follow the directions as written. 1. The directions state that I should copy the /base and /Mandrake directories from CD1. But I do not see either of these directories on any of my CDs. I have the 6 CD set as a Mandrake club member. 2. I did copy, I think, the 6 CDs to my hard drive. I say "I think" because while the first one took a while to copy, the others went very quickly, which makes me think that something may not be right. I looked inside each directory, and saw that RPMs are listed as being there, but I don't see how a whole CD can be copied in like 10 seconds. 3. If I don't have a /base or /Mandrake directory, can I configure urpmi to work with the CD copies on my hard drive? Thank you, -- Kevin B.

User needs and preference. I have 4 stor partitions. I often encounter running out of space on one, when there's room on others. Use of dirs (folders) to separate movies, sound, pictures, essential backups, and misc would'a been more efficient on one humongous size drive. > Wouldn't it be better to have new > downloads (from unknown sources; I don't mean rpms) go to a > separate partition to isolate them just "in case", and to have > certain types of large files, for instance MP3s, default to > their own space? Choice of partitions and file systems is a matter of preference and user experience. Basically for partitions, / this is the root directory (not to be confused with 'root' user). It's the top level mount point, that all other directories come under. Even if they are on separate partitions. Everything on Linux is a file, partitions are put on mount points. To illustrate, type 'l /*' in a console and scroll up. Even better, type 'tree /less' (you'll probly need to 'urpmi tree' first) /home it's a good idea to have this on it's own partition, mostly for reasons you've already discovered. It can be a bad idea when a small HDD (<13gig) is used for Linux tho. IE, inefficient use of limited disk space. When I first began with linux it was on a 256mb HDD. I used one big 'ol / and a swap file. / is the only absolutely mandatory partition /swap almost imperative, altho a swap file can be used instead (as above). General advice is to make it the same size as installed ram, if that is at least 512mb. For smaller amounts of ram, double the size of the /swap partition, eg ram=128, make swap at least 256. So for ram=256, /swap should be 512. MOF, IMO, 512 is about the minimum. It's what I have now, an next install I'm gonna double it. For laptops that suspend to ram, /swap should always be at least 30% more than installed ram, if not double. /boot while this preference is outdated, IMO it's still a good idea to put /boot on a separate partition. Use of ext3 is an added precaution when other partitions use a journalled filesystem. IIRC, it's still mandatory for XFS. Further separate partitioning is mostly for production servers and for their unique security concerns. When attempted by newbies it can cause files that are needed to boot, to not be available during init. Sort'a fatal ;> File systems; Journalled is the way to go. Your choice but I've never had any problems with ReiserFS. Till now ... 2.6.10 kernels, and maybe newer ones have some issues with reiser, particularly on sata HDD's. I expect it to be cleared up tho. If this concerns you, use ext3. It's nothin but the old reliable ext2 Linux has used forever, with journalling capability tacked on.

Of course they do. "If a driver damages the side of a car and is honest enough to admit it, I tell him, `Forget it'. If they bring a car back late we overlook it. If they've had a crash and it doesn't involve another vehicle we might overlook that too." "Where's the ashtray?" asked on Los Angeles wife, as she settled into the ripped interior.
