Question support from the cd with no cd rom


Hi! I recently installed mandriva 2009.1 via HD because I have a acer aspire one with no cd rom. Everything fine but no status battery is show. I read and I think, I need to active the acpid from boot but when mandriva try to install the package this appears:
Cannot acces the support mandriva linux 2009 spring (power pack) main
I know I can mount the iso file but I dont know how, I mean the command syntax. when I use it, it says "mount point does not exist" The iso file is in my personal folder"/home/skarax"
I Hope somebody can help me.

If you have a fast Internet connection, you will be best served to configure the Internet Software Media Sources for your Mandriva Software Package Manager (and urpmi).

Open MCC (Tools > System Tools > Configure your Computer in the menu system).

MCC should open in the Software Management category. Open the Configure Media Sources for Install and Update icon.

Click the Add button (right).

Click the Full Set of Sources button (bottom-right)

Click the Yes button (get the Mandriva mirror list, and add the new Sources).

You should now have a full set of Internet Software Media Sources configured for use with the Mandriva Software Package Manager (and urpmi).

While you are still in the Configure Media window, you may want to remove any Media Source(s) that point(s) to the iso image from which you installed Mandriva (you no longer need them because they are more than completely replaced by the Internet media Sources).

HTH,
