In your menu you have an entry Configuration>Packaging>MandrakeUpdate

That will give you a GUI based update system where you can choose which 
updates get applied.
If you want to make it automatic putting these commands in a cron job will get 
all applicable updates for you automatically.

urpmi.update -a
urpmi --update --auto --auto-select

If you have not run an update yet, be prepared for it to take some time. There 
have been a *lot* of updates released since 9.0 came out.
