At home I am stuck forevermore with a godawful slow dialup connection. As a

packages, but to just see a list of available updates and then
pick-and-choose them, I use MandrakeUpdate. Does MandrakeUpdate have a
commandline switch like --no-clean for

I use MandrakeUpdate when bringing a new system up to current patchlevel
because I can select a few packages at a time -- but if you're up to
date, it's better to just do a urpmi --auto-select.

I agree. This would be very useful. It would certainly simplify life
for those users who do not have a dedicated connection, potentially
greatly reducing stress or concern about what
Been watching this one, I'm OK here as I have an alleged 500KB download
speed, never seen it yet !.
But why not add a feature something like used in Kazaa or bit torrent,
so that the download is from multiple sources and it keeps restarting
the download on link failure.
You could then leave the mac
