Here are a quick few lines to upgrade your version of Mandriva to the latest and greatest version all using your handy update tool; URPMI. The following will migrate your 10.0 box to 10.1, but the same should work regardless of version.
urpmi.removemedia -a
urpmi.addmedia ftp.sonic.net-install »ftp://ftp.sonic.net/mirrors/mandriva/10.1/i586/media/main/
urpmi.addmedia ftp.sonic.net-contribs »ftp://ftp.sonic.net/mirrors/mandriva/10.1/i586/media/contrib
urpmi.addmedia --update ftp.sonic.net-updates »ftp://ftp.sonic.net/mirrors/mandriva/updates/10.1/main_updates/ with media_info/hdlist.cz
urpmi urpmi
urpmi --auto --auto-select
urpmi kernel
Update: This works great for the latest Mandriva release; 2006 (aka 10.3).
Hi !
I saw your site a couple of days ago, and was **very**
impressed by the “updating Mandriva using urpmi” part! ***Excellent!!***
I’ve played around with Mandriva a bit, but I’ve always been put off by urpmi. Until I saw your site, I thought urpmi was a real “dog” of a thing. Not any longer ….
It’s quite surprising how much searching I’ve had to do to get a good overview of how urpmi works.
Your examples are **exactly** what I needed!
Keep up the great work – bye for now –

I just updated the phatness. Well, the server. Don’t get all excited, there’s still no content at the hosted site.
Thanks August!
