urpmi nano

you have urpmi, urpme (erase), urpmf (find), urpmi.update -a, urpmq, 
urpmi.addmedia ...

These are the ones you use more often.
Ah, you have also urpmi --auto-select (to update your system based on the new 
sources you added; the equivalent of the update program in the MCC - Mandriva 
Control Center - DrakConf).

Try this also: http://addmedia.linuxfornewbies.org/ (to get your sources 
right!)
