BTW: Some people may not be aware that the mirrors now carry a
'Community' version of Mandriva 2006. It is in the Mandriva-development
folder on the mirrors.
Example mirror
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/community/
The community version is continuously updated once packages have been
tested in Cooker. I would not suggest using community on a production
server, but it is interesting if you want to be 'near', but not quite
'on' the bleeding edge.
An snapshot iso of Community is now available to Mandriva club members as
the 'Club December Distro'. Non members can upgrade online using urpmi if
they wish.

aren't these only 32bit versions? and not x86_64 arch?
Click on the link and you will see there is a folder in there titled X86_64

Thanks, I had just read about the 'club December distro' download and it
sounded as though that was only 32bit.
so it seems a command (of course as root, all on one line in a text
console and without the quotes) like;
"urpmi.addmedia contrib1
ftp://ftp.rediris.es/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/community/x86_64/media/contrib
with media_info/hdlist.cz"
would get me a source for community contrib named contrib1, or if I
removed the contrib entry first and changed the name from contrib1 to
contrib
"urpmi.addmedia contrib (etc..)"
I would update to community 2006...
Thanks
