</div>I know about the "main" use case of easyurpmi, from 2-3years of daily<br>
visits to the Mandriva forum, search for easyurpmi and see if the word<br>
"PLF" won't be in the same thread in a lot of cases.<br>

<br>
</div>Whether you're typical or atypical, I leave that to you.<br>
<br>
Using easyurpmi to just add the official repositories in Mandriva is<br>
an "atypical" use case, not the regular/main use case, given the fact<br>
there's already an integrated, installed by default, tool to do the<br>
job.<br>
<br>
Sure, it's good to have an easy way to add the repos on a headless<br>
server, but I think users running headless servers are cli-savvy<br>
enough to know how to use urpmi.addmedia, (with help of<br>
<a href="http://mirrors.mageia.org/distrib" target="_blank">http://mirrors.mageia.org/distrib</a><span onmouseout="cancel = false; window.setTimeout(WRCHideContent, 1000);" onmouseover="WRCShowContent({'rating':{'value':-1,'weight':-1},'flags':{},'ttl':3600,'expireTime':'20110521215302'}, this.className);" class="wrc0" style="padding-right: 16px; width: 16px; height: 16px;"></span> , it becomes a matter of<br>
copy/paste).<br>
