you also have to manually edit your ~/.mandrake-update to point to a cooker
directory (eg mirror: ftp://ftp.ciril.fr/pub/linux/mandrake-devel)

you must modify the MandrakeUpdate.c and recompile it. You just have to add an
unlink...
But maybe you can wait until i release a new version :)
removing the files from tmp we'll be one of the new ``feature''.
