My partner and I have now installed the "Download" version of MDK 9.2 on two different boxes. (PII 450 ABIT BH6 & Athlon 1800 ASUS A7V333)
Both of the installs went very well as we have come to expect with Mandrake. We noticed significant speed improvements over 9.1 on both boxes.
When using the Mandrake Control Center to update the installation, things went bad. I installed the "security updates" first and there seemed to be no problems. However when "bug fixes" were selected, certain packages caused some unexpected problems.
Both machines ended up with many items removed from the Kicker menu after the updates. Konsole seemed to missing altogether. Other programs that had been previously installed could not be found anywhere.
Some packages, including Konsole would report a "bad signature" when attempting to re-install via the Mandrake Control Center. But would then install fine using urpmi.
Is it possible to download and install "bug fixes" using the urpmi command instead of the Mandrake Control Center?
