Sorry -- mistyped rpm -qa. (That is rpm not urpmi)

To query the urpmi database, there is command urpmq which has a separate man page.

Are you using konqueror as your file browser? man:/ in the location bar gets you the man index. man:/u gets you a list of man pages dealing with commands that begin with the letter u.

I've found that any link has to be opened in a new tab - clicking on a link gets you a "save as" dialogue.

EDIT: Just came across a thread Using 'Urpmi' And 'RPM' Effectively in another forum.
