AFAIU you cannot use custom repositories, installer expects a mirror structure. You could use auto_inst.cfg.pl to add your custom repo.

Ok i didn't find this from our wiki documentions,i didn't find any repositories from auto_inst.cfg.pl not from installed system file or documentions how to add them to that file.

You could always add it in postInstall, no? https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Auto_inst#po ... ostInstall

A different alternative would be using urpmi-proxy and pointing to the proxy as your normal mirror. On that you can add custom repos, see the type "file" in the documentation: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Urpmi-proxy# ... on_file.3F and further down https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Urpmi-proxy# ... to_this.3F
[ thanks to Marten for pointing this out ]

I think would be better to use them from installed system it get too complicated,i will add solved tag.

Installer should use a repo from installed system, how should that go about?

[ozky]

How that works ? sound good to me.

[doktor5000]

Sorry your answer makes no sense. Either you didn't get my reply, or you didn't think about this. If you install a system, how should the installer use a repo, from the system that is just getting installed?

Whatever.

Little misunderstand i just have wake up. I try to say that i can install those packages manually to installed system adding it with urpmi,then from rpmdragora or rpmdrake install them.
