 Well, you could put a mirror with the 8.2 packages on your update list 
 with Software Manager, and check what you want to update and do that 
 until you are at 8.2, but that would be a painful experience, though it 
 would (eventually) work.  Software manager installs groups of packages 
 that require or depend on each other much like apt-get.  Another and 
 better way is to find a mirror that has the 8,2 packages and look in 
 /images and download
 
 network.img
 
 then
 
 dd if=network.img of=/dev/fd0
 
 and boot from that floppy, once again identifying the site and the 
 directory that has the Mandrake RPMS as your source.  You can then 
 install or update as you choose, and you can select additional packages, 
 but all your currently installed packages would be updated. (Except the 
 kernel which would be installed.)
