That's what the Mandrake Update tool calls it when you first use it. But that seems (as you and others have said) only to work with final releases. To use it during development you'd have to have some way to identify the "updates" and save or link them through an actual "Updates" directory as you find on the mirrors after a release has "gone final." In cooker I use a slightly different function; when I choose to use the GUI to update packages, whether from remote sources or from the development tree mirror on the system, I always just go to the (in KDE) Configuration>Packaging>Install Software then right click the left pane and select "Update Media." Then choose the last category "All packages...: and using the pull down select "by update availability." That will give you two expandable categories; "Addable" and "Upgradable." I'm sure you know which you're looking for, right? <g> But I'd still prefer to use the command line even after final release. :-) Regards; Charlie - -- Edmonton,AB,Canada User 244963 at http://counter.li.org Cooker on kernel 2.4.22-6mdk 23:15:22 up 1 day, 44 min, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.22, 0.20 Love IS what it's cracked up to be. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/XWW1G11CaRuZZSIRAh05AJ4l4jGB0sNfs4W0Z56Mxp/AH5WxSgCfcJ1k ZyDVjE5kvD9xEou4D13c4F0= =vrv5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
