arshadmomen 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2008 Hi, I recently switched back to mandriva after running fedora on my old laptop for 2 years- so far it's been a great joy to be using Mandriva.But it seems that I have forgotten lot of Mandriva tricks over these 2 years. So I need your help. Here's the problem: I am trying to retain the downloaded rpms while applying updates using rpmdrake. I have attempted this by editing the /etc/urpmi.cfg file and by adding the no-clean:1 in the global options. But everytime I start line this option gets erased and thus no files are retained in the /var/cache/uprmi/rpms directory. This is probably not the right option to do this. If there is any workaronud this problem I will really appreciate it. Thanks in advance, A. [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
