Mandrake question

Hi all,

   I got a copy of Mandriva and it has quickly made me feel dense. :p I 
hope this isn't an overly obvious question but I can't find the answer I 
need on the 'urpmi' man page or on Mandriva's website.

   Basically, for my program's manual I am trying to figure out what 
command line call will install a set of applications. In Debian terms 
this would be:

# apt-get install foo bar baz

   I think I need to use 'urpmi' but when I, for example, issue:

# urpmi --install nano

   It tells me that it can't find 'nano'. When I run 'rpmdrake' and 
search for 'nano' though it finds it just fine. The trick is that I 
really want to figure out a command-line app that will handle the install.

   Thanks all!

Madison
