zibi1981 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Is there a way to install previously stored on DVD updates from there, or I just have to copy them to /var/cache/urpmi/rpms each time I want to reinstall my Mandriva 2007?

jagwah Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 (edited) I believe you could just add your DVD (with your stored files/updates), or copy them to your hard drive and add them as a custom repository in MCC , and install/update by selecting that repository to get your packages from. Of course if there were any more recent updated packages released since you originally downloaded the ones on your DVD you'd have to get them again. each time I want to reinstall my Mandriva 2007? Be prepared to be told that you don't need to reinstall Mandriva/Linux, it's not Windows, you can fix any/most of the problems you come across, which is most likely true, if you know how, however when you are just starting out, it is often quicker to reinstall than it is to gather the required info/skills to fix what is wrong. Having said that, learning to fix your problems would be the best way to go, and as you learn more you will find your self tending to lean that way instead of reinstalling when you run into trouble. But have fun breaking things, installing is quick and easy ;) Edited December 17, 2006 by jagwah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zibi1981 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Well, in fact I'm a newbie :P I was using Windows XP since it was released, and, to be honest, I still think the way Windows forced me to. But I'll keep in mind Your advice jagwah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
