Assuming you are in Linux, and have a copy of the distribution on your hard
drive, replace the buggy RPM's in the ./Mandrake/RPMS directory with the
updated RPMs, and then from the base of the directory tree (i.e. the directory
equivalent to the root directory of the CD) and run this command:
./misc/src/install/genhdlist .
I'd recommend trying an HD install before you actually burn it to a CD.
