Re: [Cooker] LM9.0 Download Edition (Contrib ISO?)
Mandrakesoft made for us urpmi, one of the best tools for managing rpms. Let's use it ! I have done these contrib CDs myself : I have downloaded the entire contrib directory and burned it on 2 CDs (a total of about 1.1Go !) Then I added as usual : urpmi.addmedia "Contrib CD1" removable://mnt/cdrom urpmi.addmedia "Contrib CD2" removable://mnt/cdrom After a long time (about 20/30 min per CD !) I have a contrib media that allows me to install a lot of softwares and to solve dependencies with the plf packages (for example, you need liba52 when installing mplayer). Of course it would be better to freeze an "official" contrib for 9.0, but this method works very well, especially since cooker packages are still frozen (even if some contrib packages have been updated today.) Another way would be to use urpmi.addmedia Contrib ftp://blabla with synthesis.hdlist2.cz to have a download by ftp. Since I have just a 56K modem, I prefered the first solution, downloading the entire contrib directory at my work and burning it on CD. Moreover, ou are sure to keep one working copy of these packages until cooker is "defrost" and receives unstable/broken packages for the next version. Hope this helps. BTW : what is the difference between a hdlist.cz file and synthesis.hdlist.cz file ?

Re: [Cooker] LM9.0 Download Edition (Contrib ISO?)
I agree, I was very dissapointed when I noticed NONE of the 9.0 ISO's had Abiword on them. I had to upgrade it using cooker packages. 9.0 Disk 3 was not even close to full and I'm wondering why more packages didn't make it on the CD...many people don't know about the Cooker packages being available and, as stated, as they progress they break compatability with 9.0 anyway. We need a contrib ISO for 9.0 IMHO. Perhaps just call it CD4. Cheers, Jason I miss RPM's 4 on CD3sigh P.S. Great work Mandrake team on an awesome distro!!

Problem is, everything covered only by the extra CD(s) would break during upgrade using only the standard CDs, would have to cross all appendages etc and hope that the rpm -F actually fixed up the damage.

It would be a very bright idea to at least carry across descendents of the stuff from Mandrake 8.2's RPMS4 directory, plus packages which were culled between 8.2 and 9.0 so that people upgrading have the option of continuing to use their existing, installed, working software. And warn people using 8.2 that they will lose those things if they don't use such an extra ISO. I'm happy to throw an RPM collection together from my existing archives but I have (1) nowhere suitable to host it and (2) insufficient time to modify an installer to take it into account (you would *have* to at least boot from it and invoke a modified installer that knew about the extra CD/CDs). A general mechanism to allow `extension' or `bonus' CDs (including those not from Mandrake, with an appropriate warning about mileage and variation) during an install would be a fine addition to the installer, as would be the ability to present a CD full of updates up front.

Re: [Cooker] LM9.0 Download Edition (Contrib ISO?)
Am I missing something or there was a contrib directory in the 3rd iso of 8.2? It was disguised as RPM4. Now the new isos seem to have just RPM3 on the third CD. My question is if there will be new isos with RPM3 and RPM4 on the third CD. Or alternatively, if I rebuild the third iso with RPMs from contrib, how can I make the installer aware of their existence? Apologise if this is not the appropriate place to ask it, just following up this thread...

There is always contrib from cooker. One can tell which packages have garnered attention recently. A tally of users reporting success with contrib packages would be useful.

Actually the contrib CD has never been downloadable as an iso, but as separate packages in a contrib sub-directory in the distribution directory (there was one in the 8.2 directory) The question is if it will be available in the 9.0 directory ?

That's a really good question. Especially since contrib (while available via the Mandrake-devel tree) still hasn't been placed in the Mandrake/9.0 tree on the mirrors. However, in the past there has only been 3 download CDs but contrib was available as individual RPMs on the various mirrors. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org Never take no as an answer from someone who isn't authorized to say yes.
