One more thing...  If you have urpmi installed, it probably comes with 
one source pre-configured.  It may be a slow one in france or something, 
but you could probably start using it immediately.  Try urpmi.update -a 
and see if that works, then just run urpmi rpmdrake, or something like 
that.  To get the firefox and all that, you'd need to add a cooker 
source, though.  There is a file to manually edit.  You can manually 
edit /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg  with a new source.  I believe you just add 
the lines from urpmi.addmedia directly into there, such as
USC9.2_1 
ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS 
with ../base/hdlist.cz

USCcooker_1 
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/ 
with ../base/hdlist.cz
USCcooker_2 
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/ 
with ../base/hdlist2.cz

and so on.  With USCcooker_2, you can just do urpmi.update -a ; urpmi 
firefox, and it should handle all the dependencies and everything.  
However, you may want to comment out all cooker sources after you have 
firefox installed.  In my opinion, Mandrake cooker is extremely well 
built, and 5 times more stable than redhat rawhide.  I updated from 
cooker daily for a year and never had any serious problems.  But, 
especially for servers, try only to use the 9.2 stuff.  If it doesn't 
take that urpmi.cfg format, try this one:

USCcooker_2 
http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS2/ 
{
hdlist: hdlist.usccooker2.cz
with_hdlist:  ../base/hdlist2.cz
}
