Where is it? In Mageia, Control Cender, Configure media, I +didn't know a way to add a medium by hand. If I click on the add button I can +add either an <update sources only> and/or a <full set of sources> and what +it does, it adds a $mirrorlist as source, I do not know or have control where +those are. I have to go to -> file and then yes, I get a list. This is not very +obvious since there is an <add> button. + +So instead I used easyurpmi old interface (which shows a lot of errors) and +then copied and paste the command into a konsole. + +Maybe by adding the options to show when clicking on the add button would +provide a good option, but I think it is is too late for Mageia 1 + +-- +Thomas +</PRE> + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="004319.html">[Mageia-discuss] Easyurpmi forMageia ? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="004315.html">[Mageia-discuss] Easyurpmi forMageia ? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#4336">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#4336">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#4336">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#4336">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
