Brian,
You are not alone. I purposefully went through the different ways that I
thought made sense to upgrade last night and had no luck. I tried:
* rpmdrake: wouldn't let met add a distribution outside of it's known
Cooker Disk 1 and Cooker Disk 2. It would gather info from a directory
(/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS) or from a Cooker mirror and make a <dist>.cz file,
however, I couldn't select that distribution in the _check mark_ screen.
* MandrakeUpdate: would bomb (crash) when setting a mirror.
At this time, I'm rsync'ing Cooker on my fileserver and the rpm -Fvh *'ing
the cooker/Mandrake/RPMS directory. I wish there was a more elegant and
intuitive way to do this, but I can't seem to find it.
