Hi All

I just recently became aware of the urpmi command, which is apparently 
associated with Mandrake distros.

I thought it  would automatically look for missing dependencies on the web and 
install them for me while I lean back in my chair. However, when using a 
console or rpmdrake I get a list of missing dependencies.

It seems we have to tell it where to look. Would anyone familiar with the 
above like to give me good ftp or http sources for dependencies and how to 
put it into rpmdrake or urpmi. I am aware of how to add a source a step by 
step idea of what to do to make sure I get it right.

Thanks
