Unlike 8.2, Mandrake 9.0 seems to have shipped without the 'Contribs' on CD3. There are a lot of really nice applications in Contribs (like Kooka2) which are really worth having. You can get access to all the contribs applications simply by typing urpmi.addmedia contribs ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS with ./synthesis.hdlist2.cz (or some other mirror) (this command is all one line) in a root terminal. You will then have access to all the Contribs in Mandrake Software Manager. Periodically run uprmi.update contribs to make sure your database matches the remote directory. At the moment the synthesis list is a little out of date in contribs so you may have to ftp to the site directly for your apps. derek
