URPMI is uninstalled on Linux Mandriva?

I have asked about this before, in short my system has a corrupt kernel, I have no disk drive so I can’t just re-install Linux and Unetbootin will not work on this system as it is.
URPMI is the defualt package needed for changing major system settings and installing pretty much anything, when I try to start URPMI (like it should already be started) I get an error saying command not found.
How do I go about fixing this? As I am not a typical Mandriva user…
Thanks in advance.

urpmi is not the default package needed for changing major system settings,
urpmi is your software installer – as urpme is your software uninstaller,
urpmi needs to be run as root, but its actually a waste of time if you do not know the commands,
what you need to do is open a terminal, su to root and type
urpmi –auto-update
press enter and y if you get any prompts,
once its finished, type
drakrpm
in the terminal and your software manager should open,
if you need your root system settings (not a good idea) then type
drakconf
in a terminal and add your root password to the prompt
