That's what I get for postin about somethin I don't use.
urpmi.setup detects your Mandrake version and lists the media
available for it. I don't use it because with cooker, updates to
the final aren't (of course) available yet. I have used it after
final, when cooker is still on holiday, waitin for the next devel
cycle.
IIRC, the easy urpmi site has moved, no longer hosted at
zarb. But urpmi.setup should list a bunch of mirrors (?). It
won't list plf sites for the same reasons those packages can't be
included in the distro.
