When I click the updates button on the KDE desktop I get an error: Could not
execute program MandrakeUpdate.  What is this suppose to do and how do I get
it to work?

Thanks,

it's a clickinstall program for upgrades of Linux-Mandrake.

it's strange that you don't have it. To make it work install the package
MandrakeUpdate (and also grpmi, gsu, wget)

That just gives you a list of ftp sites around the world, then when you select the the 
ftp
you want it connects you there, and you can download the files for update. Now check 
to see
if you updates is linked to fule updates.kdelnk it should be in your directory
/Desktop/updates.kdelnk. when your kde directory is made.

I think the Mandrake Updates is a separate rpm.  Make sure you have it
installed on your system.
