Yes, maybe it can be automated but urpmi.update -a && urpmi --auto-select --auto is not quite hard to write if any you write it. > with apt-get update you don't have to. > Packages are up to date everytime.

It is less than 25MB anyway. Of course if you want to use urpmf, it is no more usable but it is enough for installing packages (even with --auto-select) > maybe Mandrakesoft can improove urpmi in some way in that direction. Currently the last improvement are use another mirror for downloading file (if some site gets unreachable), allow not creating list file (more an internal improvement) and some bug fixes. François.
