    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?
