# If you have any questions of comments, please email me at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
# Both myself and briareus can also be found on the irc.freenode.net
irc server
# In the channel #LFD
# Please come by and visit us with an questions/comments on the script.
# When this script is run, it will automatically update your current
Mandrake install
# as long as you have online sources set. Those can be found at:
http://urpmi-addmedia.org
# It basically replaces urpmi --auto-select and requires no user input
what so ever for complete
# updates to the system.
