===Package manager=== [[Image:Mandriva RPMDrake.png|200px|thumb|[[Rpmdrake]], Mandriva's graphical package manager]] Mandriva Linux used a [[Package management system|package manager]] called [[urpmi]], which functions as a [[wrapper library|wrapper]] to the [[.rpm]] binaries. It is similar to [[APT (software)|apt]] from [[Debian]] & [[Ubuntu (software)|Ubuntu]], [[pacman (Arch Linux)|pacman]] from Arch Linux, [[yum (software)|yum]] or [[DNF (software)|dnf]] from [[Fedora (software)|Fedora]] in that it allows seamless installation of a given software package by automatically installing the other packages needed. It is also media-transparent due to its ability to retrieve packages from various media, including network/Internet, CD/DVD and local disk. Urpmi also has an easy-to-use graphical front-end called [[rpmdrake]], which is integrated into the Mandriva Control Center.
