MandrakeUpdate is nice, but we really need the console based version,
instead of the GUI, with list of file watcher so that it knows where to
update

Hi Brian,
Wow! Only 106 packages.
Yup. And like I said, that was with really no effort (in paring down)

My development machine has over 500 packages and,

How about a non-perl (and non-python for that matter -- be better than

update tool, similar to apt-get, written in C++ (not C - I'm tired!).
What I can make is a simple console tool to get a file list from a file,
eg: /etc/mandrakeupdate.mirror and then fetch the list starting from the
