I upgraded it manually by downloading it from an update mirror (there are many listed
off the
Mandrake website) and typing at the command prompt something like
# rpm -Uv MandrakeUpdate-whateverversion.i586.rpm
Actually, i think that was for the version that came with 7.1. It was broken in that
every time i
tried to update SOMEthing it would automatically try to update EVERYthing. After that
it worked
fine. Currently it works "just fine" but i still have to do things manually from time
to time. I
figure if you're going to run Linux you are going to have to know how things are
working. If you
don't want to think about anything, run Windows.
