unfortunately i cant shed some light on this.......i can only say....i now
have linux mandrake since version 6.2...(dunno when they implemented
mandrakeupdate), and mandrakeupdate did *never* work.....it didnt freeze
my machine.....it was only working endlessly......endlessly searching for
updates......so i gave up using it and now i download my updates manually
from the "updates" directory of various mandrake mirrors.....
just a suggestion.....;)
