Another problem with Mandrake update for 72. I downloaded the update
files to disk, chose the disk option and browsed to the directory they
were stored. I told update to update the list and it tried to go to the
mirrors instead of the disk. No matter what I do, it refuses to look at
the disk.
This brought up another issue. RPMdrake is great for installing new
packages but pretty useless for doing updates. The tree listed all of the
update packages downloaded (I didn't need all of them, but I was trying
this out). This would be fine, except I only wanted to install the
updated packages, and I had no way of knowing which ones to check from
the list. I brought up kpackage and used it instead. To be honest, I feel
kpackage is still WAY ahead of rpmdrake. If you're going to include this
package, it seems it should have at least the same functionality as
kpackage, otherwise it's just wasted disk space.
