+.TH urpmi 8 "18 Nov 1999" "Mandrakesoft" "Linux-Mandrake"
+.IX urpmi
+.SH NAME
+urpmi \- rpm wrapper making installs easier for the user
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B urpmi
+[--auto]
+package_name
+[package_names...]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+urpmi enables non-superuser install of rpms. In fact, it only authorizes
+well-known rpms to be installed.
+
+You can compare rpm vs. urpmi with insmod vs. modprobe
+.PP
+All users belonging to group urpmi are allowed to install packages.
+.br
+Just launch urpmi followed by what you think is the name of the package(s), and urpmi will:
+.br
+\- Propose different package names if availables and quit.
+.br
+\- If found only one Package corresponding, check wether dependencies are already installed or not.
+.br
+\- If not, propose to install the dependencies and then install all required dependencies and the package.
+.PP
+Note that urpmi handle installations from various medias (ftp, local and nfs volumes, removable medias such as CDROMs) and is able to install dependencies from a media different from the package's media. If necessary, urpmi asks you to insert the required media.
+.PP
+To add a new media containing rpms run urpmi.addmedia.
+.br
+To remove a media use urpmi.removemedia.
+.br
+To update the packages list (for example when the ftp archive changed) use urpmi.update.
+.br
+To automatically install a package corresponding to an executable you tried to launch, use autoirpm.
+.br
+To install all available menu entries of all known packages, use autoirpm-icons.
