Guest DJH Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I need ndiswrapper to get connected to the internet with Mandrake 10.1. I've downloaded the files I need to install. However! I cant get MCC-addmedia or urpmi.addmedia to work. If I use urpmi.addmedia as SU in term nothing is written to urpmi.cfg. If I use an editor and edit urpmi.cfg to create a local media source, the (hdlist) is then found along with the installation cd's (hdlist)'s. However! urpmi --verify-media shows only installation cd's. How do I use urpmi.addmedia to use a local directory to install RPMS. My RPM directory is /home/djh/downloads/RPMS.

tyme Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 you could just cd into the directory you have them saved in and install them all manually: urpmi filename.rpm Or, if they don't need to be installed in a specific order, this may work: urpmi *.rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovel Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 This should work. urpmi.addmedia [options] <name> file://<path> [with <relative path to synthesis|hdlist>] You can find this info in the manpage of urpmi.addmedia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
