Ixthusdan Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Yes. Name the cd when you burn it and add it to the urpmi sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it would work and then add it to your sources but I have to ask why would you want to do such a thing? Just add texstars site as a urpmi source.

Guest mandrake123 Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 What would be the command? Lets say i name the cd "tex". Would i type urpmi.addmedia tex? How will it know to look for a cd and open my cd tray? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandrake123 Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Why? That is a good question. 2 reasons. Because the --noclean swith does not work and i have dial up. I like to keep those rpms after i install them so i do not have to get them again if i need to. Also i have dsl at work so i can just download them there, then bring home and have all those apps without having to wait hours and hours.

Yep being on dialup at home not only sucks but is an excellent reason to put them on cd. I believe the command would be something like urpmi.addmedia tex then path to the cd?

Ixthusdan Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 OK, it would be urpmi.addmedia tex file:///mnt/yourcdrom/foldernameifany Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandrake123 Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Ok, now heres the million dollar question: The files in the contrib directory will not fit on a cd. I have the files on 2 cd's. can i tell urpmi to search 2 different sources for the same files? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted December 20, 2002 Report Share Posted December 20, 2002 Sure, you can add 100 cd's. Name them tex1 and tex2 (for example) and add them to urpmi. urpmi will know which one to ask for when you do your stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
