Re: [newbie] Easy URPMI no longer takes
What I have found is that if I use the club setup, copy it to a root terminal, it seems to setup OK but if I go to the gui media setup it is not there. Run rebuild etc to no avail.

Prolly plf-source didn't get added i.e. the hdlist wasn't found. Try add the plf source manually (on the CML)and keep a sharp eye on the messages you see! That way you'll know it worked or didn't.
