Been there, done that :)

If you are using fmirror or another tool (I used fmirror) it is pretty 
easy to do a upgrade install with the hd image. Go to the images subdir 
of your local copy and dd that file to a floppy. i was using urpmi to 
auto update but i had part 9.0 part something else (system rebuild from 
about 1 month ago) and found it worked much better to just upgrade that 
way. you could also do an 'install' but you need to be careful not to 
overwrite your medium (probably would have to move it to a partition that 
mandrake won't touch). Once you install/upgrade you could probably begin 
to resync with periodic urpmi.
