Mandrake question

[Clive DaSilva]

Hello Madison,

The easiest way to do this is to go to easyurpmi.org and use the scripts 
there to update your install and update media. The instructions there 
are easy to follow and having updated your media, the urpmi install from 
the command line , or using MCC should be able to find the program that 
you were looking for
