Thanks for your replies. The menudrake approach doesn't seem to work.
Presumably because /usr/sbin/MandrakeUpdate is just a symlink to rpmdrake and
not to urpmi.
Having a look at /usr/sbin/rpmdrake I see that it is a Perl script with the
following line
system('/usr/sbin/urpmi.update', map { $_->{name} } @update_medias) == 0
just after it echoes a message about contacting the mirrors. Presumably all I
have to do is to edit this and add the --noclean at this point?
