Mike showed us the one of the bests rpm source at:
ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/mandrake/Mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS
there are a lot of source even including games there, now, is there a
page or file about what are all the those rpm's for, when and how to
install, when we are not suppose to use them, maybe along with
dependency info and so on?
Bests.

The ftp reference you give is a Mandrake mirror. It has the same RPMS as on the download CDs. It also has a synthesis.hdlist.cz file which contains all the dependency information and package descriptions. So if you were to give the command
urpmi.addmedia rutgers ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/mandrake/Mandrake/9.0/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ./synthesis.hdlist.cz
(That command is all on one line), then you would see the packages in your Mandrake software manager and see all their descriptions.
There is not a lot of point however since they are all already on your CDs.
However if you were to give the command
urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://ftp.rutgers.edu/pub/mandrake/Mandrake/9.0/contrib/RPMS with ./synthesis.hdlist.cz
Then you would gain access to the applications in the Contrib folder which are *not* on your CDs. There are lots of really useful applications in Contrib
