You are using Mandrakelinux 10.1-rc1 if I read your post correctly. You should be able to use the
Software Media Manager to add ftp sources if you have a fast Internet connection. You will need three. They are all located in the devel part of the mirror tree
here
For the first source, in
Software Media Manager click the
ADD button.
In the dialog which pops up, click the
ftp server option.
In the
Name text field, enter:
Main
You can choose any name you want, even CD-1. This is the name for the source you are adding.
In the
URL text field, enter:
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/mirrors1/ftp.mandrake-linux.com/Mandrakelinux/devel/community/i586/media/main
The above is a single line with no breaks. This is the location (on the proxad.net mirror) of the main file set for Mandrakelinux Community 10.1. You can use the ftp mirror of your choice. proxad.net is the one I use.
Click the check box for
Relative path to synthesis/hdlist.
In the associated text field, enter:
../media_info/synthesis.hdlist_main.cz
This is the relative path to the hdlist synthesis file for this source. The file is up one directory, enter the media_info directory, the file is synthesis.hdlist_main.cz
Click the
OK button.
The media manager will download and set up the information for the new source.
Then set up the other two sources as above, but with the following names:
contrib
jpackage
the following URL's:
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/mirrors1/ftp.mandrake-linux.com/Mandrakelinux/devel/community/i586/media/contrib
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/mirrors1/ftp.mandrake-linux.com/Mandrakelinux/devel/community/i586/media/jpackage
the following relative paths:
../media_info/synthesis.hdlist_contrib.cz
../media_info/synthesis.hdlist_jpackage.cz
As with the first source, you can use any name you wish. The main directory is similar to CD-1, the contrib directory is similar to CD-2, and the jpackage directory is similar to CD-3 (or is it reversed for CD-2 and CD-3 ...).
HTH,
