[Sheflug] Mandrake updates

[Peter Collier <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

	I'm trying Mand 8.2 at the moment but I'm having problems using the software 
update facility. Many of the files will not update, keep getting error while 
getting file x. Some files download partially before losing my 2 hr isp 
connection. When I restart the process, it tries to install the partially 
downloaded files, sometimes saying that the upgrade was successfull and 
sometimes not. 
	I have read in some archives that Mandrake's update is not good and that the 
only way is to wait for the next version and do a complete update. Don't know 
if this is bitching amongst the different distributions or fact. I've tried 
in the past using gftp to download the files and update from there but that 
also sometimes causes conflicts. Would I be better leaving things alone and 
wait for the version updates?
	I also find it slower than a debian setup.
