[plug] Newbie level help wanted with urpmi - Mandrake

[Richard Meyer]

Hi guys,

Some of you may think this is laughably easy, but I cannot get urpmi on Mdk
to work with non-local non-CD resources. Would anybody who has it working
all spiffy, please explain to me (offlist is OK) how to set it up to do a
general upgrade of all the packages on the machine from Mdk mirrors? Also I
would be gratefull for the stanzas which you have in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg.

I spent a lot of time reading man pages and I'm better informed than when I
started, just no wiser. I seem to have a blind spot here.

Thanks
RichardM

BTW does anybody else think that urpmi sounds like the sort of noise a
person makes after chug-a-lugging 5 pints of VB?
