Hello Madison,<br>
<br>
The easiest way to do this is to go to easyurpmi.org and use the
scripts there to update your install and update media. The instructions
there are easy to follow and having updated your media, the urpmi
install from the command line , or using MCC should be able to find the
program that you were looking for<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I got a copy of Mandriva and it has quickly made me feel dense. :p I
hope this isn't an overly obvious question but I can't find the answer I
need on the 'urpmi' man page or on Mandriva's website.
Basically, for my program's manual I am trying to figure out what
command line call will install a set of applications. In Debian terms
this would be:
# apt-get install foo bar baz
I think I need to use 'urpmi' but when I, for example, issue:
# urpmi --install nano

<pre wrap=""><!---->
urpmi nano
you have urpmi, urpme (erase), urpmf (find), urpmi.update -a, urpmq,
urpmi.addmedia ...
These are the ones you use more often.
Ah, you have also urpmi --auto-select (to update your system based on the new
sources you added; the equivalent of the update program in the MCC - Mandriva
Control Center - DrakConf).
Try this also: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://addmedia.linuxfornewbies.org/">http://addmedia.linuxfornewbies.org/</a> (to get your sources
right!)

<pre wrap=""> It tells me that it can't find 'nano'. When I run 'rpmdrake' and
search for 'nano' though it finds it just fine. The trick is that I
really want to figure out a command-line app that will handle the install.
Thanks all!
