Re: [newbie] RPMS, RPMS2 RPMS3
Aren't those just from the three different discs? Stephen Reynolds wrote: I've found a local mirror that's working and want to add the appropriate rpms directories using urpmi.

So I am a little more cautious with uprmi now. As an aside, my 10.1 Cooker machines are very stable :-) SR Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

What is the difference between the RPMS, RPMS2 RPMS3 directories? RPMS is the main rpm repository for the distribution. This is where all the official, initially released packages are. RPMS2 is a symbolic link to 'contrib' and RPMS3 is a symbolic link to 'jpackage'. They are far from essential. If you have installed them separately or don't want them then it's safe to ignore them. If you're using plf you probably do want contrib, tho. A. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com
Re: [newbie] RPMS, RPMS2 RPMS3
I dealt with this just last night. They are the different directiories on the different discs that contain the RPM's. I just wanted to thank everyone on this list, both those that ask and answer. Very very helpful to this newbie. --- Sevatio [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Aren't those just from the three different discs?
