Hahaha! Sorry... I got tired of the Mandrake tool doing
weird things like that, so I mirror the whole dang thing,
and I have some small custom scripts that figure out what
rpms have upgrades available, and I let urpmi loose on
them from my local mirror. Sure, download is looong, but
that runs on a weekend and not on my watch. Been working
for years!
