Sorry about that, I didn't read the subject through. The command I posted will do what you want if the sources in the software manager are current for the version of Mandrake Linux you have installed. If not head to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon to set it up. Or just do urpmi urpmi.setup to do the same locally. That only works if the package is on the disks you have, or if you already have a contrib source configured though. <\brain fart mode> There's also the minor fact that the tree for 9.2 on the mirrors doesn't seem to have consistent information since the extra kernels etc were added and the "LG Killer" (it's a joke!) BOOT kernel was removed. I'm still getting errors on contrib packages because of it. I'll shut up and get back to work now. Sorry again.
