urpmi --update --auto-select --auto installs without showing a list urpmi --update --auto-select shows you a list of proposed updates and asks for confirmation. Mandrake Software Install GUI has a filter on 'Update Availability' so you can browse the descriptions before deciding to install updates. Mandrake Update GUI similarly shows a list of updates mdkonline will pull up mdkupdate when you select 'Install Updates', and will then show a list.
