Mageia forum

I don't know why but I'm having a problem it seems like one of the ftp mirrors is down and I want my instalation to logon to another

Are you asking how to change the mirrors used by urpmi? The quick way is to do this as root in a terminal:

Code: Select all

urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia --distrib <mirror url>


replacing <mirror url> with the URL of the mirror you want to use (pick one from the list given at http://mirrors.mageia.org/distrib after selecting the Mageia version and architecture you want).

You can do the same thing in the GUI (remove the current sources then add a new set), except it will automatically choose a mirror for you - and I don't know whether it checks if the mirror it chooses is actually working at the time.

If this is not what you are asking, please try to rephrase your question - it isn't very clear.
