Hi,

I have been using SUSE Linux for a while and I was wondering if there were any repsitories like packman or guru for mandriva 2007?

google for easy-urpmi.

Follow the instructions on the page, then

Copy and paste the url's into the console/terminal to update the database.

After that (could take a while) you should be able to use urpmi to find packages.

Or search these pages (LQ) to find-out more

For some reason, the distro doesn't recognise urmpi when I type them in to the terminal

okay, I didn't see that yoiu had to do it in root. Will these give me things like opera, aMule and azureus as installable packages?

Yes - just not sure which repositories you have to choose. But I think they´re already included in 'main'.

You have to add the main, contrib, plf and updates repos for the version of Mandriva you are using. The "main" repo tends to include only free software, so other non free packages are in contrib and plf.

So I looked for aMule and azureus but nothing...

What next in the process???

Azureus is in the contrib repo, so if you have added contrib to your urpmi sources like I suggested above, to install it just do

Code:

#urpmi azureus

I am not so sure about amule, its probably in the plf repos, so try doing

Code:

#urpmi amule

amule is in plf
