Do you actually have an 'update' media defined?
Go here http://plf.zarb.org/~nanardon/index.php and follow the instructions to
add an 'update' media source. While you are there add a source for 'plf' and
'contrib' as well and you will be able to install 100's of cool extra
applications online.
Note: Do *not* do what it says about " urpmi.removemedia -a" or else you will
lose your CD sources.
Note: The web page will give you a command to copy and paste into a terminal
window. The window has to be a 'root' window. Type 'su' in a regular terminal
window to become root.
Copy/paste in Linux is mouse highlight/wheel click
Note: If you do not want to use the command line install the urpmi.update
package from your CDs using the Mandrake Software manager.
Then run urpmi.update and a nice little GUI will guide you through adding
sources.
