You first need to set up the source repository you want to use. One of the best tools you will find is the one for helping you set up your sources. It is available as a script on a web page that will give you the commandss to paste into your console, or a gui app that runs locally but requires you to be connected. The web page is available at http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php. The local app is called urpmi.setup. Run it from the command line as root. If it is not installed, it is part of the base distro, so if you did not remove your urpmi sources from your install, you can "urpmi urpmi.setup" to get it installed. > 2) After (1) is done - what to expect? ANy time you want to install something, just type urpmi <oackagename>. urpmi will download and install the app as well as any dependencies required. It's that easy. To remove something, use urpme. > 3) Will you be able to pick what to update? to update, you can either use urpmi --auto-select to update everything that is installed, or just use urmpmi <packagename> again. If it is installed but a newer version is available in one of your sources, it will download and upgrade. > 4) Will all the files be downloaded irrespective of what is installed on > system? > No, just what you want to upgrade. > I have used GUI mandrake-update once during last week.
