Please don't yell at us (all caps is yelling).

Log in as root and configure urpmi via the command line, then upgrade your system using that.

I don't know what command line editors Mandrake uses, but Midnight Commander has a nice, easy to use filemanager and editor built in.

urpmi nano may install an easy to use text editor.

# Mandrake links
Mandrake home page
Mandrake Users website (you need to pay money to access now)
Software management configuration: Easy urpmi config for Mandrake
Software management: urpmi mini-HOWTO
Software management: All You Ever Wanted to Know About Urpmi But Never Dared Asking Before
You didn't install the developmental packages? As root, command:
urpmi gcc
An Introduction to the Midnight Commander. You can install it by commanding:
urpmi mc
Midnight Commander home page

Did it ever work or is this a fresh install?Check your spelling it is a little hard to read your post.
