+I know about the &quot;main&quot; use case of easyurpmi, from 2-3years of daily

+&quot;PLF&quot; won't be in the same thread in a lot of cases.

+</I>
+Whether you're typical or atypical, I leave that to you.
+
+Using easyurpmi to just add the official repositories in Mandriva is
+an &quot;atypical&quot; use case, not the regular/main use case, given the fact
+there's already an integrated, installed by default, tool to do the
+job.
+
+Sure, it's good to have an easy way to add the repos on a headless
+server, but I think users running headless servers are cli-savvy
+enough to know how to use urpmi.addmedia, (with help of
+<A HREF="http://mirrors.mageia.org/distrib">http://mirrors.mageia.org/distrib</A> , it becomes a matter of
+copy/paste).
