Mandriva 2007 and UPRMI

I am having trouble running updates using uprmi. I went to

PHP Code:



http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

and followed the directions but that is I believe updating the database on the machine locally for where the updates are. Now how do I install them?

See http://easylinux.info/wiki/Mandriva Info is for Mandriva 2006 but applies to Mandriva 2007.

I found the interface just a little confusing myself. But you're ok, so far.

Just click on the star (kicker) and system->configuration->packaging->install, remove & update software. From there, you enter your root password, and the MCC will fetch the information from the databases that you correctly surmised came from EasyUrpmi.

Now, from the leftmost dropdown menu, select All Updates (or alternatively, Bugfix Updates, Security Updates and Normal Updates can be selected individually) and you should be good to go.

A quicker way of updating if you don't mind using the CLI is

Code:

#urpmi --auto-select --auto
