I thought I'd pass along something I found in my search to keep my Cooker installation up to date. As has been discussed, MandrakeUpdate is now depreciated and has a tendency to blow up when fetching updates, and I could never get rpmdrak to fetch me just a list of the outdated packages on my system. So after poking around a little I found that linuxconf has a program that can be enabled to do that for me. (I'm not sure about the term here, but I think it's called a hook.) Once enabled, I set it to look at my local mirror of Cooker and it showed me the outdated packages on my system. I'm a little gun shy on having it actually do the upgrades, I prefer to do that myself, but it did show me what needed to be upgraded. -- Van Holland; MCSE+I; Master CNE Public Key: 0xDDB2572D [EMAIL PROTECTED]
