Judging by other responses, urpmi is a MDK thing, i'd thought it was a
redhat thing, but i guess not.  Anyhow, its handy, and does the job for
me.  You just configure some sources for it, either local or remote.
run urpmi.update, and then urpmi <package>.

I have'nt tried using a remote source yet, so i dont know how effecient
it is, but it works find with my local cooker mirror.

cant see why it'd be too MSK specific, so you should just be able to
compile it up from source and give it a spin.
