Standard menu.

There are loads of mirrors, I use these ( I won't list Cooker because you
probably won't want that ) :
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/Mandrake-devel/contrib/
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/Mandrake/updates/8.1/
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/Mandrake-devel/unsupported/8.1/
I believe that Software Manager will check the net if you're online and
find sources for you.
