Mandrake 10.2 Installed but....

I have installed Mandrake 10. 2 and all is cool except that during installation I did not select to have all rpm's copied to hdd - I now want to have all the rpm's on disk so I can reinstall any rpms remotely via ssh (I travel alot with work).

Is there an easy way to achieve this?

Thanks.

Yes I have done this with my laptop. I did this with the DVD but it should work with the cd version also. Here is what you need to do:

copy the media folder on the CD(s) to /var/ftp/pub
next issue the following:

urpmi.addmedia "Installation (cdrom1)" file://var/ftp/pub/media/main with ../media_info/hdlist1.cz

urpmi.addmedia "Installation (cdrom2)" file://var/ftp/pub/media/firmwares with ../media_info/hdlist2.cz

urpmi.addmedia "Installation (cdrom3)" file://var/ftp/pub/media/modules with ../media_info/hdlist3.cz

urpmi.addmedia "Installation (cdrom4)" file://var/ftp/pub/media/dkms with ../media_info/hdlist4.cz

urpmi.addmedia "Installation (cdrom5)" file://var/ftp/pub/media/plugins with ../media_info/hdlist5.cz

urpmi.addmedia "Installation (cdrom6)" file://var/ftp/pub/media/contrib with ../media_info/hdlist6.cz
