Guest anon Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Well you either get them from your CD's or you d-load them. If wish to d-load then go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and add the sources. Only other way is to copy the contents of all your CD's to a folder on your hard drive and add that folder as a new source. Remember that the entire contents of the four (five? ) CD's are several GIG and if you added the Contrib contents also, the folder size would be huge. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 also: do not forget to deactivate your cd-roms as installation-source, if you only want to fetch the latest stuff from the net. otherwise, urpmi will ask you always to insert the disks before searching the web for newer packages.
