You may have noticed that the tree on the mirrors for Mandriva 2007 has been changed and is different from previous versions of Mandriva. Most of the changes are not important to most users, however, there is one change that is important to know. That change is that there is now a Contrib Updates media source.

PLEASE READ THE REST OF THIS PAGE BEFORE FOLLOWING THE GIVEN PROCEDURE.

Go to one of the Urpmi-Addmedia and choose your version/architecture/urpmi (I do not use Smart) and hit the Step 2 button. Next choose a mirror for main or contrib and hit the Step 3 button. That step will give you a command to use such as the following line: (Do not enter the command, you will only use part of it):

urpmi.addmedia main 
http://mandrake.mirrors.pair.com/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.0/
i586/media/main/release with media_info/hdlist.cz

NOTE: You may want to remove any existing Main, Updates and Contrib media sources you have before doing the following commands.

The command to remove a certain media source is:

urpmi.removemedia media-source-name

To remove ALL current media sources:

urpmi.removemedia -a

You can list your current urpmi sources with the following command:

urpmq --list-media

To add Main, Main Updates, Contrib and Contrib Updates to your urpmi addmedia sources, use this command:

urpmi.addmedia --distrib 
http://mandrake.mirrors.pair.com/Mandrakelinux/official/2007.0/i586/

You can then go back to the Urpmi-Addmedia site and add the PLF media sources, if you use those as well, by using the commands it gives you without modifying them.

Hope this helps till the easyurpmi/addmedia sites catch up with the tree change.
