Thanks for your reply, Pavel, but I don't think that urpmi --noclean will help. What I would want to do is, after a new 2006 installation, to install the security updates and bug fixes I need, using the "configuration->packaging->update" GUI and then install perhaps twenty or more other packages from the various repositories, using the "install" GUI. To have to enter some 40 package names into the command line would not be very satisfactory. Unless I am missing something obvious! With Synaptic, one can set it not to delete the files in its temporary cache. This is what I am looking for in 2006. I know that apt/synaptic can be used in Mandriva, but I don't want to change from using the graphical front end of urpmi.
