It's just an application to ease administration of packages. I think it was, once, the default administration tool in mandrake (but I'm not sure). Mandrake has for many years now had it's version of apt-get called urpmi, which is a layer ontop of rpm to ease installation of packages and it's dependencies. There are quite a few urpmi repositories out on the net. > Or could I use .deb or RH or what > ever other packages to install to my MDK system? See the other mail I sent about that.
