rpmdrake errors

Whenever I run it to try to get updates for mandrake 10.1 it says can't retrieve a list of packages from media 'update_source' How do I fix this so I can update mandrake?

Go to http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/ and follow the instructions.

p.s: Give it some time to download the package lists!

I understand that, but what I don't understand is why don't rpmdrake work?

Probably because you haven't set a "source" from which rpmdrake is supposed to pull down the updates.

Run "Software Media Manager" and check and update the "update_source".

Once set it will work fine.

The above links also effectively tell you how to do this manually.
