Community versions of Mandrake do not have "updates" or "update source" media - the updates are contained in the media which you have already added as sources.
To obtain the updates, instead of using the GUI you must use urpmi.
Open a root terminal, & give the following command:
urpmi.update -a --no-md5sum && urpmi --auto-select
This will update all your media, and show you a list of updated versions of any packages you have installed.
Thanks Margot... this seems to have done it. So this means that I can't use "the drakes" to update, right?

Once the "Official" version of 10.1 is released, you can delete your "Community" sources, go back yo easyurpmi, install "Official" sources, and you will be able to use the drakes from then on...if you really want to.
Of course, by then you will be so accustomed to using urpmi that you probably won't need to use the drakes ever again! To become an expert urpmi user, look here:
