If you want to burn an updated cd, the Mandrake FAQ has a link to a site
that describes what you need to do. (Although it makes it sound more
complicated than it really is!) Briefly:
Download the updates (it's useful to keep a mirror of the updates directory,
and use wget to keep it up to date).
Delete the old files from the ./Mandrake/RPMS directory.
Copy the updates into the ./Mandrake/RPMS directory.
Go to the root directory of your distribution (the directory with Mandrake,
misc, docs, ...), and run './misc/src/install/genhdlst .'
(If you have never made a cd from the distribution before, go to the
./Mandrake/instimage directory and 'chmod -R 770 *' everything, just in case
the execute permission got lost when the distribution was mirrored.)
Then use mkisofs with the -r option to make a new iso image. Read the man
page if you've not used mkisofs before. (Or the FAQ, or
http://www.man.ac.uk/LinuxDoc/HOWTO/mini/RedHat-CD-6.html)
Good luck.
