You can always declare an online ftp source instead of the CDs. ( If you have broadband) Delete the CD entries, and enter urpmi.addmedia distro_9.0 ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ./synthesis.hdlist.cz (or some other mirror of your choice)

Sorry my typo.. In the contrib reference you should use ./synthesis.hdlist2.cz Also it looks like there is something wrong with your setup for CD2 Take a look at the configuration by opening MandrakeControlCentreSoftwareSourcesManager Highlight the entry for CD2 and select 'Edit' What do
