A wonderful tip given to me from Anne on this list. Go here:
http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/UsingUrpmi
and also go to this site:
eslrahc.com, find the page for your version, and paste the command in. You
also need his signature obtained by: rpm -import
http://www.eslrahc.com/10.1CAE.asc (for version 10.1).
