Abstract

Mandriva's convenient update service warns you about bug or security fixes specifically available for your machines. This service can also be configured to automatically install package updates so you don't have to run it manually.

The system is comprised of the following items:

Initial Configuration Wizard (see Section 1, “Initial Configuration”)

Enables you to register a new machine.

Web Management Interface (see Section 2, “The Web Management Interface”)

Allows you to manage all the hosts you maintain and to activate hosts so they are taken into account for updates.

Applet (see Section 3, “Mandriva Online Applet”)

Informs you on the status of your updates, and allows you to launch the installation of updates when needed.

Take a look at the Mandriva Online FAQ page to get further information about the Mandriva Online service.
