How about giving MandrakeUpdate
an autoresume ability?


I agree.  This would be very useful.  It would certainly simplify life
for those users who do not have a dedicated connection, potentially
greatly reducing stress or concern about what will happen if the
connection is terminated early (for whatever reason).

Best wishes,

not realy sure if this is what you have in mind, but the --wget option
seems to work from some mirrors as an "auto-resume after break" function



Err...do you mean that MandrakeUpdate has a switch '--wget'? I did a 'man MandrakeUpdate' and get nada. Doing a 'MandrakeUpdate --help' produces nothing useful either. In any case, since I would expect that a lot of users, particularly new users, would start the update process from DrakConf rather than from a CLI, they would not tend to use command line switches, just icons. Autoresume should be builtin by default.

I think that MandrakeUpdate is just a link to rpmdrake. Rpmdrake uses urpmi to do all the work.

See "man urpmi"
