Diffrence using urpmi or Mandrake graphical update?


Is there any issue with using the graphical update/install in mandrake vs using urpmi. If I install something using urpmi will it be reflected under the other and vice versa with no probelm?

RPMDrake, found in Mandrake Control Centre can be considered the graphical implementation of urpmi. So wherever(rpmdrake/urpmi) you make a change(addition of deletion of sources or packages), It is reflected in the other. RPMDrake is meant to make it easier for beginners to use urpmi.

rpmdrake is simply the gui version of urpmi. It actually calls urpmi to do the "behind the scenes" work.

It is easier to install rpm files you downloaded using the urpmi command. If you downloaded two rpm packages, one being dependent on the other, you can include both file names in the argument list.
