If you're using mdk 9.1 you can go to http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/urpmiweb.php to learn how to set up your sources and begin using urpmi.
ZS, that link will walk you through very nicely. i just did updates from it last night, and i'm a super noob....no programming experience and been using mdk9.1 for just over a month now. if i can do the updates from that site, anyone can :)
while we're on the subject of updates....isn't there something you can set up to check a mirror site every so often to look for updates for you instead of doing it yourself? and i'm not talking about giong through MCC either, as i couldn't get updates to work from there in the first place. i'm not worried about a program randomly checking for updates and attempting to eat up my bandwidth, i'm on cable, so bandwidth isn't an issue for me and i could jsut have it do updates at 4am or something when i'm in bed. if anyone can help with this, i'd appreciate it. thanks!

cd /etc/cron.daily
echo '#!/bin/sh' > urpmi.cron
echo 'urpmi.update -a' >> urpmi.cron
echo 'urpmi --auto-select --auto --no-verify-rpms' >> urpmi.cron
This will first update the hdlists (list of packages on the remote server) and will then download and install any updates once a day.
