read my comments about Easy Urpmi under this thread.

here's a re-cap:
Quote:
if you go to Easy Urpmi (http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/) and look under step 3 it tells you to type this before you start to clear all media:

# urpmi.removemedia -a

anyway if you do this first you will be able to add whatever you want.

if it won't let you do it, go to the urpmi directory (not sure what that is, but there is one) and do ls -a and look for 2 hidden files that are named something like "LOCK" and delete them. then do the above command and it will let you remove the cd's as sources. then, go ahead and post the commands from urpmi. should work

this should do it

Because its a beta. If you want something that's supported with security updates use a release version - either 2005LE or wait for 2006 to be released.
