Urza9814 Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 I have a problem. I'm making a liveCD (well, attempting to anyways :P), and so I got this prog and tried to install it. I got 2 dependencies needed. One of those has 4 of it's own. One of those four has 1 more. I didn't even bother past that...there's gotta be an easier way to do this! here's the dependencies: busybox is needed by mklivecd-0.5.7-0.cvs.20031118.1mdk cloop-utils is needed by mklivecd-0.5.7-0.cvs.20031118.1mdk any ideas of how I could do this without spending all next week downloading and installing all this crap?

liquidzoo Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Add a contrib and plf source to urpmi then urpmi one of the programs. That should download and install all of the dependencies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urza9814 Posted May 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 uh...*confused* I remember trying to do that before...and getting totally confused...main thing is, what is urpmi? :P hmm...perhaps I should try the FAQ section...or google :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SurfahBoy808 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 liquidzoo gave the solution. You have to fix your repositories. I did a fuzzy logic search on livecd and it turned up with a package called "mklivecd" if I wanted to install it, it'll automatically download the dependencies.

SurfahBoy808 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 fissy, what are you doing here in a mandrake forum? trolling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfahBoy808 Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 in case you haven't got all your repositories. Go to http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi you select the version of MDK. From there you pick the same servers for the main and contrib. For the plf, I usually pick the mandrake forum. Sign in as root in the command line and type "urpmi.removemedia -a" then back to easy urpmi site and copy paste the code you get from clicking on the step 3 button. Voila! all dependecies are automatically downloaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
