Sigh ... the man was asking for a tool that - is part of distribution - is available and enabled by default - does not require cron knowledge - does not require urpmi knowledge - DOES NOT REUIRE ANY KNOWLEDGE AT ALL i.e. he was asking for a standard part of every (professional) Windows program now-a-days - configuration dialog "check for updates - dayly, weekly, ..., never". Sure it is up to him to use your suggestion. It is also up to him to spend his money on Mandrake or RedHat or SuSE if this feature is valuable for him ... do not assume that somebody actually knows what cron is or that Mandrake Update actually calls urpmi ... nor should anybody really know and care. when I repost some article from a.o.l.m on cooker, I usually do it to demonstrate what *real* users expect from Mandrake. This request has been fairly common ... -andrey
