I have not used it very much, and find that it's not here on my Mandrake system (cooker, not yet beta though). It's a KDE app, and used to be in kdeadmin, but the KDE rpms in particular have been "fractionalized" in the last few months, with much of the functionality broken up into little pieces. What was at one time a monolithic package (kdeadmin, for instance) now has a slew of components, and this likely explains why you couldn't find it and it isn't installed by default over here. Using "urpmf kpackage" seems to tell me you (and I) should look for a package called 'kdeadmin-kpackage'. There seem to be remnants of it here, but kpackage itself is not found. Strictly speaking, Mandrake Update isn't "part of" gnome. It may look like a gnome app but it can be used irrespective of the window manager. > and working on security.

The few times I've used it in the past -- yes, to a point, but it's basically a GUI shell for the underlying update system that Mandrake uses -- i.e., urpmi. Many common errors with that (IMHO) are connection failures, mirrors out of sync, and not strictly a problem as such with the method that Mandrake uses. > Hoyt -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
