How does what work? MandrakeUpdate? Pretty simple... you point it
to a site and it tells you what's available and lets you
download/install it. Like I said, I don't know if it (yet) will do
what the Helix updater does (it was written initially as a means to
download new updates for bad or vulnerable packages shipped in the
distro). I don't usually use MandrakeUpdate myself preferring to
just use rpm -Fvh * on my nfs mounted mirror.
