Last night I tried to use Mandrake 8.1's software update feature to download and install a security update to the kernel. I found the program to be very unsatisfactory: it didn't tell me the names of the files it was downloading or give any indication of how long the download would take. Then the files didn't wind up downloading all the way but the program tried to install them anyway, so I wound up with half old kernel modules and half new kernel modules and the machine wouldn't boot. When I got it up and running with the emergency floppy disk, there was no PPP support so I couldn't try the download again! And of course the installer's update mode doesn't fix the kernel, so I had to reinstall. :-< What alternatives are there to this Software Update program for Mandrake users? I know I can find rpms on rpmfind.net, but only if I know what they're called, and I like the idea of the software letting me know when updates are available... but if I can't trust it, I won't use it. Suggestions? --Ben
