ffi Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I am not booted into Mandriva, it is somewhere under system but Unless you are a clubmember it is useless anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 I agree with ffi, definitely a waste of time unless you paid mandriva to use this tool to get the notification. You can get updates without it, but its just probably an easy money spinner for them when people think updates aren't free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saddletramp Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 that answers another question i was wondering about then. didn't think it was really necessary. must be why i disabled it, even though i don't really remember doing that. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 You can get your updates manually through System/Configuration/Packaging/Mandriva Updates. It will automatically pick a mirror for you. However, I do recommend you visit the easyurpmi link at the top of this page, and set up for main, contrib, updates, plf-free and plf-nonfree. You'll have access to loads of software. Just make sure you choose the correct version of Mandriva that you have installed, else you'll end up upgrading the whole OS to a new version.
