Tutorial about basic commands

Hello!

I just started to use Mageia after many years of openSUSE. I wanna learn to use Mageia package manager etc via command line. Is there some tutorial about that?

Not yet (maybe there will be some in the wiki)
basically you need
Code: Select all
su
to go root.
Code: Select all
urpmi packagename
to install the package
Code: Select all
urpme packagename
to uninstall it.
Code: Select all
urpmq packagename
to find packages.

You may find this useful: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Tools/urpmi
Although it's for Mandriva, it should be OK for Mageia.

Yeah, I forget
Code: Select all
urpmi --auto-update
it fetches the new information from repositories, and check if there is any updates to be applied and it applies them.
