How do I modify URPMI?


I just installed urpmi on my Mandrake 10. It works fine but the following problem occurs:

When I run rpmdrake, in order to install soft, it doesn't look in the CDs that came with Mandrake. Instead of that it looks only throught the web.

So, I was trying to install mysql from the distribution discs (install softwre) and since mandrake can't get the file through internet, it says that the installation was not possible.

How can I tell urpmi to look in both (internet and Cds)?

Thanks for your help! :-)

Your urpmi configuration is in /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg. You need to have the device and hdlist specified. This is a copy of mine (I'm running Mandrake 9.2 - I don't know if the labels are the same for v. 10):

Installation\ CD1\ (cdrom1) removable://mnt/cdrom/Mandrake/RPMS {
