uninstalling and updating packages. It is the graphical user interface of
URPMI. At each start up, it will check online package lists (called
'media') downloaded straight from Mageia's official servers, and will show
you each time the latest applications and packages available for your
computer. A filter system allows you to display only certain types of
packages: you may display only installed applications (by default), or
only available updates. You can also view only not installed packages. You
can also search by the name of a package, or in the summaries of
descriptions or in the full descriptions of packages or in the file names
included in the packages.</p><p>To work, rpmdrake needs the repositories to be configured with <a class="xref" href="software-management.html#drakrpm-edit-media" title="Configure Media">the section called “Configure Media”</a> .</p><div class="important" title="Important" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Important</h3><p>During the installation, the configured repository is the medium
used for the installation, generally the DVD or CD. If you keep this
medium, rpmdrake will ask it each time you want to install a package,
with this pop-up window : </p><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/rpmdrake8.png"/></div><p>If the above message annoys you and you have a good
internet connection without too strict download limit, it is wise to
remove that medium and replace it by online repositories thanks to <a class="xref" href="software-management.html#drakrpm-edit-media" title="Configure Media">the section called “Configure Media”</a> .</p><p>Moreover, the online repositories are always up to date, contains
