-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well...urpmi is nice and all, and I use it when I want to upgrade specific packages, but to just see a list of available updates and then pick-and-choose them, I use MandrakeUpdate. Does MandrakeUpdate have a commandline switch like --no-clean for starting it?
Urpmi isn't really an option under the circumstances. It kindof requires that you know what packages you want to update a priori. MandrakeUpdate does not. praedor On Friday 27 June 2003 08:01 pm, Brant Fitzsimmons wrote: > Praedor Atrebates wrote: [...] > > It would be way nice if I could do a MandrakeUpdate at work/school > > with my > > laptop and select to save the downloaded rpms so I could go home, > > connect up > > to my desktop, and upgrade it too.
