John,

rpmdrake is bbb (broken beyond belief) in 7.1. Did an install yesterday
and /usr/sbin/urpmi.addmedia is really, really hosed. They obviously never
ran it, much less tested it.

Methods for http, ftp and cdrom are not going to work as it came on the
CDs I have.

I haven't check local, so that might work.

At Stammtisch tonight Kevin suggested wiping 7.1 and moving back to 7.0. I
think he specifically said 7.0.2. I guess 7.1 in general is pretty hosed.

ciao,
