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could never get rpmdrak to fetch me just a list of the outdated packages 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look at my local mirror of Cooker and it showed me the outdated packages 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.
