To be honest, you really don't *need* yum in Mandrake.  Thousands of
Mandrake users are quite content using urpmi and have no idea other rpm
repo managers exist.  I have some Mandrake faq pages that cover urpmi
nicely at http://speculation.org/garrick/faqs.html

I use Mandrake on my workstations and personal machines, and have redhat
on the servers.  I started using yum on redhat and then thought it would
be nice to have a single "grand unified rpm repo manager" for both
distros, but I still cling to urpmi because it's just faster to use.
