If the updates list you receive contains MandrakeUpdate.
Download that single package from 1 of the mirror sites using Netscape, or
any other program except for Mandrake Update.
Use RPM or kpackage to install it.
This should should solve the problem and you will be able to install the
updates as intended.

Subject: [expert] Odd problem
Well, this one is new, and baffles me.
When I run Mandrake update to do one package (only selecting one at a
time) it seems to download and then compile fine, but then the disc
activity continues, and X freezes up, and the whole time the disc is going
crazy.
I'm going to try to reinstall tomorrow and see how that goes, and I'm
thinking about changing / back to ext2 instead of ReiserFS just to see if
that helps at all, but this package thing is absolutely baffling. I've
nevr had a problem before installing packages.
If anyone has any idea about this, please drop me a line. This one has me
quite puzzled indeed.
Thanks
