In an effort to get a steady and current stream of Mandrake updates for
version 9.2 I was testing different mirrors and settings. Anyway, I got it so
mucked up at some point that I did the wrong thing.. I did the
urpmi.removemedia -a which of course deleted everything.. I would like to
restore the settings that came with the first 3 cd's of the powerpack (the
silver club download version). I am just unsure of how to do this. What were
they named, do I need to browse to each cd.. can someone just email me the
urpmi.cfg file out of their etc/urpmi directory that shows the original
settings?
There was a another newbie post earlier this week but it did not quite do the
same thing plus it was not quite right in its instructions either.

Here is the full details..if this does not work for you..then sorry..:)
urpmi.removemedia -a
You will find that your installation CD's are missing from the list
To readd your cd sources do:.
Put CD1 in the drive and in root terminal type:
urpmi.addmedia --distrib cdrom removable://mnt/cdrom

Thanks Johan. I actually was lead in this direction by the install forum
on Mandrake club.. but they left out the cdrom part.. so it acted liked
it worked but there was still nothing listed when I went to install
packages. Also urpmi.cfg was still blank.
So I thought to myself, to try sticking a name in..(same location where
you wrote cdrom.. I used Installation\ CD1.. Then just as you did
above.. This triggered a full read and added the database files for all
the CD's, even the other 5 CD's that are not part of the download
package.
So I got it but thanks for answer my question.
