To upgrade automatically, use « MandrakeUpdate ».  If you want to
upgrade manually, download the updated package from one of our FTP
server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name".  All mirrors
are listed on http://www.mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.  Updated packages
are available in the "updates/" directory.

For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for
Mandrake 7.1, look for it in: updates/7.1/RPMS/

Notes:
- We give the md5 sum for each package. It lets you check the integrity of
  the downloaded package by running the md5sum command on the package
  ("md5sum package.rpm").
- You generally do not need to download the source package with a
.src.rpm
  suffix
- All the updated packages are listed on the website on
  http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/fupdates.php3
