As root the CLI command to update Mandrake linux is:
urpmi --update --auto-select
this command will ask a couple of questions. If you want it to run with out
asking any questions at all use this command.
urpmi --update --auto-select --auto
This will install all the current updates for your system. I'd suggest setting
it as a root cron task. You'll have to add a security source to urpmi if you
haven't already this command will do that again as root from the command
line.
urpmi.addmedia --update updates
ftp://public.ftp.planetmirror.com/pub/mandrake/updates/9.0/RPMS/ with
../base/hdlist.cz
that should all be on one line.
ur*****media --u***** up**s ftp://******** with ../****/hdlist.cz
hope that helps. By the way I'm assuming that your runing Mandrake 9.0 if not
you'll need to use http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php to get the correct
command to add the updates source for what ever version your runing.
