Annoying demand for Core Release when installing new softwar

Postby voodooii » Jul 9th, '19, 03:59

I have a laptop with NO CD-ROM drive. I installed Mageia 7 using a bootable USB installer. When I want to install "gedit" and other software, Mageia DEMANDS the Core Release CD - I DON'T HAVE ONE! What do I do? Thanks...

The repository from the installation media stays configured and enabled by default, as there might be a lot of users that don't have a network connection or a metered one.
See the hint at https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Software_man ... ia_sources - simple disable those repositories that point to your installation media.
