RpmDrak only reading first disc's Rpm's

LinuZ · 07-31-2003, 03:01 PM

Hi, Im using Mandrake 9.1, and i'm having problems installing any Rpm on disc 2 & disc 3 through RpmDrak. When I insert disc 2 or 3, it doesnt recognize them. I want to have the ability to install packages from them through RpmDrak. I can install them directly from the folder, but with RpmDrak, it installs the Rpms needed, and in the folder, it just doesn't work.

Please help, Thank you,
Matt

Does RpmDrake/Urpmi list the package if you search, and does it say which cd it's on, but not accept the cd when requested... OR... does it simply not list packages stored on cds 2 and 3?

If the first, try closing the cd bay a few seconds before clicking OK that it's inserted.
If it's the second, check the Software Sources Manager.

The source manager only has Disc one registered in it. I'm not sure how to put another Disc into it. And waiting doesnt show any packages.

Sorry I got back to you this late, Opt Online in my area was down

Thanks,
Matt

Try opening the SSM, and select the first disk entry. Click the Edit tab and note down the two lines.
Then Cancel and click the Add tab. Try picking Removable media, and then try entering similar lines for the second cd. Check them by having a browse of the second cd and seeing if there's a slight difference in filename or path. I think it changes from RPM to RPM2, and from hdlist1.cz to hdlist2.cz. The third cd is called International CD (x86) cdrom3, not Installation CD3

It didn't work. It says in order to save my changes on the new one, I need to insert the medium, I do that, and then When i go to add software, it doesn't list any, and searching for them doesnt show it either.

Please Help.
