It's fairly straight forward.
Log in on your ISP.
Click on the Updates icon (or go to DrakConf).
Select Update List. It will download a list of ftp servers followed by a
list of available updates and the descriptions.
The default server seems to be the download.sourceforge.net site. I have
found it to be really slow, probably due to heavy activity. If you go to
'File', you can access 'Preferences'. From there, you can pull down the
list of available sites and pick an alternative. The ftp.tux.org site
was a lot faster. Keep in mind that the cups update is 6.6M, so you may
want to opt for an alternative site first.
To update, select the file you want and click on 'Do updates'. It goes
through the download and the update automatically.
Hope this helps.
Barry :-)
