"This":http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php site is hellar useful if you need to set up urpmi but don't exactly know what you are doing. Just select the mirrors you want to use, and it will tell you what to type in at the console.
There is a similarly helpful page at "vsbabu.org.":http://vsbabu.org/mt/archives/2002/12/03/mandrake_9_getting_more_software.html
Just for the record, these are the settings I chose:
urpmi.addmedia plf ftp://knight.zarb.org/pub/plf/9.1 with hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia main ftp://public.ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/mandrake/9.1/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia contrib
ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake/9.1/contrib/RPMS
with ../../i586/Mandrake/base/hdlist2.cz
urpmi.addmedia jpackage.free ftp://ftp.pbone.net/pub/jpackage/1.5/mandrake-9.1/free with hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia --update updates
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/Mandrake/updates/9.1/RPMS/
with ../base/hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia texstar ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/mandrake/9.1/rpms with hdlist.cz
