How do you install the other mandrake disks?

Gah. I installed Mandrake off of the first of the three disks, but I know that there are other programs on the other two. How do you go about setting up the Mandrake Installer thing to read the cd's (source)? Thanks for the info.

Oh, by the way, it is Mandrake 9.1.

They should already be added, but you can add sources through the mandrake control center. Go to "Software Management" then to the software sources manager and add there.
Also, you might have a read here for using urpmi in console.

wow, thanks man.

np, hope it helped you.

i'm still confused about what to put as my source for the cd though.

here is how mine are using mandrake control center ...

Sonuvabitch... it didn't work. Curses. Any other ideas?

hey sandman. What is that thing you use to display weather and all that stuff?

what went wrong? You couldn't add the CDs as sources? There is actually funny about the adding the CDs manually. Open a terminal window, become root. Put in the second CD and do

urpmi.addmedia -f CD2 removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS2

and then insert the third CD and do

urpmi.addmedia -f CD3 removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS3

this should do the trick. BTW, CD2 and CD3 are just names of the sources. You can change it to anything you like. Also, take a look at the urpmi related man pages. It's very useful. The graphical tool has a few glitches.

Password:
[root@pcp479526pcs joshi]# urpmi.addmedia -f CD2 removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS2
