a13x Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Urpmi downloaded a lot of packages but something happened and it stopped ( astupid error). I'd like to resume the update but .. not from scratch. How can I use the packages that are in /var/cache/urpmi so I don't have to download everything again ?

chris z Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 you should be able to just select all the packages you want again, for download. it will detect the ones already in cache & only download what isn't there, then the install will start. or, you could just set up a local source pointing to /var/cache/urpmi, if you want to go that route. then, disable all other sources, go to the software installer & type .rpm in the search. it should detect all the rpm's in that directory & nothing else since all your other sources are disabled. select all, install.

Hmm..... good idea but what about the hdlist ?? Edited October 29, 2004 by a13x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris z Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 leave the hdlist blank. it will create one when it adds the source. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
