urpmi.addmedia main

with media_info/hdlist.cz

If you don't specify a hdlist it finds the synthesis (smaller, stripped 
down hdlist) file automagically. I prefer the hdlist.

Also:

urpmi.addmedia contrib 
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/10.1/i586/media/contrib 
with media_info/hdlist.cz

urpmi.addmedia --update updates 
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/Mandrakelinux/official/updates/10.1/RPMS 
contrib with media_info/hdlist.cz

It's also worth doing this...

urpmi.addmedia --update plf http://plf.acnova.com/mandrake/free/10.1 
with hdlist.cz

...for the debatable-legality-in-USA parts like codecs.
