[TriLUG] Mandrake URPMI question

[Michael Hrivnak]

I do this:

urpmi.update -f update_source
urpmi --update --auto-select

At which point it finds the packages that need to be updated, and then asks 
you if it should download and install them.  You can easily say no, and that 
should take care of your needs.
