devries Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 If you have a PC that's on 24/7 you can run updates automatically. Open your favorite cron editor as root (I prefer kcron or webmin) and open a new job. In the command field put: /usr/sbin/urpmi.update update and have it run every day at a specified time and save it. Open another new job and put in: /usr/sbin/urpmi --media update --auto --auto-select and run it every day at a time after the first job. Save that job too. That's it :) PS. Fill it the complete path, ie. /usr/sbin/, else it won't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil-a1000 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 With that in mind how do you remove the RPM files that are downloaded once they have been installed? I have installed Mandriva from DVD. Now it is up and running I have used easyurpmi to setup the installation and update sources from the internet. However I can see my hard disk shrinking in size. I download Firefox for example and it says 30mb yet once installed I have actually lost 60mb. Where is the rpm and do I need it on the computer once installed? Also, under Ubuntu/Kubuntu it was possible to setup the system to clear out the tmp folders on logout. Is this possible under Mandriva. Thanks in advance.

ianw1974 Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Try: urpmi --clean will remove any downloaded and stored rpms. Should free a bit of space perhaps. Although by default, the system is set to remove the rpms that were downloaded after install anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
