I think it's best to download all the rpm's to a directory
and then do that stuff by hand.
Mandrake Update work well when upgrading rpms with the same name.
but MandrakeUpdate don't show rpms with other names diferent from the one's
you have installed. And cooker has changed names in all lib rpms, so with
MandrakeUpdate you can't see them. The best way is to download it all with
rsync or download only the one's you need with and check dependencies.
Many rpms in cooker have changed their names, specially libs rpm.
with rsync you can do something like this: (only downloads binaries, no
sources), example:
rsync -av --delete-excluded
sunsite.uio.no::Mandrake-devel/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/ /home/cooker/
You don't need helix-gnome rpms because Mandrake cooker in updated with
helix paches and some times apps apear faster in cooker, and the only
aplication I think is missing in cooker is gnapster, but you can found it in
contribs. Helix rpms gives you some problems with menus in mandrake, don't
know why, menus won't show applications from helix in kde menus.
will helix-gnome work with glibc 2.2??
Yes because there is a compat-glibc-7.2-2.1.3.2mdk in cooker.
