neddie Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Click the link at the top of this page for "Easy-Urpmi" and follow the instructions there. Then your "urpmi route" will use the online repositories instead of your installation disks. Or use both, if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neddie Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 blender is in main (version 2.42) - just use the gui to search for "blender" or type in "urpmi blender" in the console (you need to be root). Opera is closed source, and is not packaged by Mandriva. You can download it (version 9) from www.opera.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or use both, if you want. while i already have urpmi configured using the easy-urpmi site, i cant make urpmi bypass the installation media even if i have unchecked them in the rpmdrake gui interface. this is a pain if i only need to get <100kb from the disc. :( ciao!

Mhn Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 There seems so be something strange going on with rpmdrake and smart. old_rpmdrake shows all packages while the others only shows installed... Opera is closed source, and is not packaged by Mandriva. You can download it (version 9) from www.opera.com. Opera is in plf: $ rpm -q opera opera-9.02-1plf2007.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mhn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 There seems so be something strange going on with rpmdrake and smart.old_rpmdrake shows all packages while the others only shows installed... Have been exerimenting more and found out that the new rpmdrake only search medias not marked with "update" and packages installed. Any pariticular reason why it shouldn't? Or is it a bug? BTW, have there been any updates for 2007 the last weeks? I haven't got any... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
