mtweidmann Posted February 9, 2003 Report Share Posted February 9, 2003 You can add the the other CDs to urpmi. Open up a root console, and run "urpmi.addmedia". Can't remember the exact command (not at my machine) but it does give the option to add the installtion media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counterspy Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Did yo not load any development programs when you first configured? In my view, it would be worth your trouble to do an upgrade adding the development software. Downloading will take hours whereas updating should be less than 1/2 hour at the outside. Just make sure that things you don't want or have been upgraded already are not checked. Mandrakesoft likes to add things they think you need. Use expert mode package selection and look at every category to make sure only what you want gets installed. All dependencies are met this way as well.

Guest LinuxExplorer Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 Ok, this is getting aggrevating. Someone's changing my posts. I am NOT adding If someone thinks my information is incorrect, say so instead of changing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Counterspy Posted February 10, 2003 Report Share Posted February 10, 2003 FWIW, there is no text. Just the blushing smiley. The other one was the same. I can't imagine anyone being able to play with the system by deleting your text. Report the problem to the moderators if you have not already done so.

scoopy Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 If your running KDE or other graphical desktop, look for /Configuration/Packaging/Software Sources Manager. Fire that up and you should be able to click on the add button to add your other two CDs which will add the packages contained on them to your database of available rpms for installation.
