Guillaume, I just migrated from Mandrake 9.1 to Mandrake 9.2. To get yum-2.0.4 installed I have to update a variety of packages. Once it was installed, "yum upgrade" cranked for a while figuring out dependencies, downloaded several hundred packages totally hundreds of MB, and installed them. In the past I've used urpmi for the same task. The process consisted of selecting a package to update, running urpmi, saying "yes" to the list of packages it listed, waiting for the download, and repeating all steps. I found the single yum command to be much easier. David
