To upgrade automatically, use MandrakeUpdate.

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package
from one of our FTP server mirrors and upgrade with “rpm -Fvh
*.rpm”.

You can download the updates directly from one of the mirror
sites listed at:

http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3.

Updated packages are available in the “updates/[ver]/RPMS/”
directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM
package for Linux-Mandrake 8.0, look for it in “updates/8.0/RPMS/”.
Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not
need to download them.

Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours
to update.
