Exclamation Where can I get sources for DrakeRPM?


I am looking to have DrakeRPM download and install programs for me but I can't seem to find any sources? Any ideas? And once I find them, what exactly do I do?

You need to tell Software Sources Manager where to download from. If you are in Mandrake Club, there are instructions there on how to integrate the two. If not, I suggest rpmfind.

Once you download an RPM, you can double click it to have RpmDrake install it (but it doesn't handle dependencies well at all).

Yay! I'll try this out. I hope it works, I was up until five in the morning beating myself up, trying to figure this out!
