[plug] Mandrake updates

Just discovered an interesting twist with Drakconf.
Did my usual
urpmi.update -a
urpmi urpmi
drakconf
then check for updates in the Software Management tab.
There were no updates available, but being bored I tried
urpmi --auto-select

On one machine I ended up with 816MB in 455 packages and on the other 
379MB in 153 packages.
I don't know if this is normal, but it could be worth checking by all 
enlightened Mandrake users out there.
I have sent an email to, oops Mandriva, and will let the list know what they 
tell me about this behaviour.

This has just been a heads up about possibly strange behaviour.
Hope it is helpful.

Love
Mike.
