I don't use mandrivaonline but do use mandriva update.
You'll have to set up your urpmi.cfg file but going to this site,
easyurpmi.zarb.org and following the steps will , once you tell it
what mirror sites you want for main, contrib, updates, plf-free and
plf-nonfree, give you the commands to enter on a command line to set
up the file.
The file sits in /etc/urpmi. You will want to have the following at
the top of the file:
{
no-verify-rpm
split-length:0
downloader wget
}
Note: I use wget for my urpmi stuff as I find that curl tends to
cough it's cookies too much. YMMV, of course.
Once you get the list of commands, in a terminal window (you must
either be root or su to root for this), copy and paste each command
in turn. Note that some commands, especially the updates one, will
be more than one line! Make sure you get the entire line. URPMI
will go through getting what it needs and checking things out.
Once you have gotten at least main and updates into your urpmi.cfg
file, open the file with your favorite text editor and add the 5
lines above at the top of the file. Save it, do a urpmi.update -a to
update everything and then do a urpmi --auto-select to get what files
you will need. urpmi takes care of dependencies, etc.
This works for everything, including kernel updates.
HTH and if I forgot anything, someone add it please.
Thanks
