easy urpmi for mageia (for non-free softwares)
hi, mageia buddies,
For anyone who is testing the mageia which It is a fork of the mandriva linux finds it difficult to install certain programs such as the non-free softwares for instance opera browser, sun java, adobe acrobat, etc ... But I tried a very easy solution that worked for me and I left the mageia "chubby". Just install the media available in the Mandriva Intenational Backports (easy urpmi) at http://urpmi.mandriva.ru/
If you Follow this clue you would install everything you need concerning non-free applications. This solution was tested bymyself and this solved my problems up! For the time being mageia does not have its own esyurpmi, this has been very helpful. with a simple download of urpmi at http://urpmi.mandriva.ru/
But my suggestion is to make a proper easy urpmi for mageia. Is that possible?
For the time being, I expect this solution might help the mageia users. I would like hear from you, if you tested too.
cheers.
PS: Attention to download at http://urpmi.mandriva.ru/ and not at http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ that did not work when I tested on mageia first.
