-You can compare rpm vs. urpmi with insmod vs. modprobe.
+urpmi is Mandrakelinux's console-based software installation tool. You can
+use it to install software from the console in the same way as you use the
+graphical Install Software tool (rpmdrake) to install software from the
+desktop. urpmi will follow package dependencies -- in other words, it will
+install all the other software required by the software you ask it to
+install -- and it's capable of obtaining packages from a variety of media,
+including the Mandrakelinux installation CD-ROMs, your local hard disk,
+and remote sources such as web or FTP sites.
