Ok, well so far i have updated Xfree864.20mdk-1   to  mdk-2, koffice and 
various utilities. the Program explains decencies in the info package 
and tells you which dependencies haven't been satisfied. But aside from 
that, could i just update an entire system from an ftp server by simply 
selecting every updated package for my system, letting it all download 
and install, and hopefully it should work?

Thanks.
