[plug] Newbie level help wanted with urpmi - Mandrake

[Scott Middleton]

Sorry forgot to say.
To update: urpmi.update updates (or whatever you called it eg
"urpmi.update main")
to upgrade packages : urpmi --auto-select

I did it last night at home for the first time and it needed 88MB so be
ready.

    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?
