command line updating?
 

How do I update from the command line? I also need to install flash, shockwave, realplayer - etc,etc? How do I do that I can't figure it out?

I would sure be grateful for any help thank you.

update what?

//this muppet realises this is mandriva, not fedora... ughh...

seperately flash is available at adobe.com

Not Yum .
Mandriva uses http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/
go here it will give you some lines to cut and paste into a shell.

then you get the choices ,it takes a while though -read up from the site
