Re: [Fwd: [expert] MandrakeUpdate as normal user]

[Benjamin Sher]

Dear Alan:

Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it.

HOWEVER, there is an Update button on Mandrake's Desktop. It must be
there for a purpose. Indeed, when you click on it, it opens up sends
down various rpms for your select, asks you for your root password,
reviews the packages and then clams shut. This is a bug, not a feature
:) If you are going to have an Update button on your user's desktop, it
ought to work. The update button on root's desktop works fine. It works
exactly the same way as user (of course, it doesn't have to ask for a
password). The difference is that it delivers the goods, fetching and
installing the rpms perfectly. Now that's what I would like to see on
the user's desktop, too.
