I'm just doing that on a cluster. Mainly I prefer Fedora policy for 
kernel maintainance - much faster than Mandrake. I also find much 
clearer the yum toolkit, rather than urpmi. I really loved the urpmi 
--parallel option, but I screwed it up after a while.... no way to let 
it work again...

so, good luck
