Updated Mandriva 2009 to spring

The update did complete successfully, but only after manual intervention.

The update process looped on trying to install mplayer (mandriva version) while it conflicted with mplayer plf version. I had to remove the mplayer plf rpm manually from the console before the script went on.

When the notebook rebooted for the new kernel, X did not start; but mandriva offered a text mode dialog to reconfigure (and test) it.

I still have to see a linux distro upgrade flawlessly; but this time mandriva quite did it, if I did not tinker with plf, everything should go on in an acceptable way.

So the vote on the update process is 7/10.
