A good request. I think that could be done as part of the installation process, and also available somewhere in the mandrake control center. I would like this to be set up very easily, as a defalult possibly. It is said that 80 % do not do the necessary updates of vital security fixes, I would like that to be catered for - for novices. I think it would be quite simple, the urpmi --auto-update could do everything needed under the hood. > when I repost some article from a.o.l.m on cooker, I usually do it to > demonstrate what *real* users expect from Mandrake.
