The easiest way would be to use the precompiled rpms for mandrake from one of
the kde sites; eg
ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.0.4/Mandrake/9.0/RPMS
and download them all to a separate folder. This can take quite a while
depending on your connection.
Then its probably best to shut down X and install them from a normal console.
Go to the folder where you downloaded them and su to root.
Then rpm -Uvh *.rpm should hopefully get everything upgraded ok.
Before doing all this though, you should be familiar with 'getting about'
without X and using a text editor like vi or emacs, just incase things don't
go according to plan.
