This feature is also available in Debian and Corel distros. It would be
great to have RpmDrake check for updated stable packages (along with
it's dependecies if it's necesary) or uninstalled ones either on CD, or/and
on a Mandrake ftp at your choice. This would save a lot of time searching
for which package is or isn't upgraded yet.
