durvish Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 go to easy urpmi and set up your sources then remove the cd sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Scrimpshire Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 They seem to be down at the moment, but the URL is http://easyurpmi.zarb.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 you do not need to remove the cd entries in your repositories list but simply uncheck them. that way they will be ignored. and set up some new mirrors http://www.urpmi-addmedia.org is the new link.

durvish Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Sorry I didn't clarify -- I was pressed for time. I meant to say to uncheck the boxes for the CD sources not remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 urpmi-addmedia is an unofficial fork not an official mirror; plf.zarb.org is still the 'official' one, whatever that may mean to you personally :). They were having DNS issues that should be resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were having DNS issues that should be resolved. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i have not seen any difference in urpmi-addmedia and plf.zarb.org. every single mirror is included there, the gui is no different (apart from colors). so the big question is: what makes one mirror official and the other unofficial? easyurpmi started alltogether as something "unofficial" if i remember well... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 the guy who wrote easyurpmi gets to say what's official and what's not, and he's got a bit of a bee in his bonnet about all the mirrors :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
