Hello!
I am attempting to install DVDrip using urpmi. When the command is run, I am prompted to install a large number of other files. Finally, I get the message
"
Please insert the medium named "Contrib CD (cdrom7)" on device [/dev/hdc]
"
but I don't have this medium. I purchased the personal editon of mandrake 9.2 and there were only five disks!

Is there a way to force urpmi to skip media I don't have and instead look to the various internet sources (which I updated recently)? (assuming the file it is looking for isn't only available on 'Contrib CD (cdrom7) ' ).

any help appreciated,
doug

In System-->Configuration-->Packaging, click Software Media Manager. After putting in your root password and allowing it to update, you will be presented with a list of your software sources. Highlight each one in turn and click edit to see what each one says. When you come to the one which looks for the cd7, remove it. It will then stop asking for it.

Alternatively, go to www.urpmi.org/easyurpmi and use the instructions at the bottom of the page to remove all your update media, then use that page to add new media.

Go to www.urpmi.org/easyurpmi and have it give you the command to add the contrib source. The next time you install dvdrip you should get all the dependencies. If you were using plf rpms the contrib source is often required for them.
