I do not use a monitor on my Mandrake 7.2 machine. Rather I ssh into that
machine.
Whenever I see new patches I usually have to manually go into an ftp site
to download those RPM files.
While this works, I am the first to aadmit that I am very lazy. I'd love
to be able to run a command line Mandrake Update utility for that purpose.
Thanks

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
