Re: [newbie] 10.0 online rpm repositories
Thanks, Couple of questions. Is urpmi the backend of Mandrake update, or a totally different thing? If I use Mandrake update, does that pull from the same source as the cooker(specifically in mandrake 10CE)? Or should I be using urpmi exclusively? Thanks agian!

There won't be a security/bugfix repository until after 10-OE is released. For now it's cooker. If I use Mandrake update, does that pull from the same source as the cooker(specifically in mandrake 10CE)? Or should I be using urpmi exclusively? I use urpmi on the CL. I don't know how to setup rpmdrake to do it with a GUI, but I believe you can do it. Just point it to cooker mirrors. Northern European are the best.

Thanks, Yes, take a look at easy urpmi or the plf site or...if you're a club member download the iso's. 10.0 isn't mentioned as is , it's the current (i.e. cooker) repository still. Bear in mind though that neither cooker or 10.0 (or Community Edition, or whatever) is stable enough to be a 100% trustworthy production environment.
