Re: [Cooker] TUI version of MandrakeUpdate?

Cheers, -Charlie Man am I restraining myself from being offensive and undiplomatic. 1) URPMI!!! It is almost as close to Mandrake's core as the kernel! urpmi --auto-select!!! ~murmur, roll eyes~. 2) If you insist on doing it the [CENSORED] way that makes no sense, MandrakeUpdateRobot. As far as the \server\ option, that is easily almost as preposterous a comment. Look around please. You are definitely missing somethings big. This is some kind of warped troll joke you are sending the ml? You had better have tried both the NEWBIE and EXPERT mailing lists already. [CENSORED] Brian [CENSORED] Regards.

At least if you unselect everything in the group selection, you'll get a minimal install with no X.
