Thats what I did, I installed the latest rpmdrake from Cooker. Then I launched it from the console so I could watch the output. It allowed me to add security updates and cooker sources as well. It is also much much faster at loading the 1-2-3 cd database too!
Just for grins check your /etc/mandrake-release and make sure it says Mandrake Linux release 8.1 > As to your problem upgrade to rpmdrake-1.3-106mdk from cooker. > To prevent the cd db from being scanned each time you can delete them in > the source list. > > When you run Mandrake Update launch it from a terminal as rpmdrake, this > will give you an output of what the program is actually doing. > > Charles
