Well I've done some work and now all the 8.2/ppc RPMS that were not included in the ISOs are now available via urpmi/rpmdrake via my mirror.
You can add the source by doing: urpmi.addmedia "8.2-ppc-Supplemental" http://mirror.brain.org/linux/mandrake/Mandrake-ppc/8.2-Supplemental/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz If you have a slower internet connection and don't want to fetch the entire 2 MB hdlist file you can use the synthesis file, though you aren't able to see all the info about the packages that way. You can use the synthesis file by using this to add the source instead: urpmi.addmedia "8.2-ppc-Supplemental" http://mirror.brain.org/linux/mandrake/Mandrake-ppc/8.2-Supplemental/RPMS with ../base/synthesis.hdlist.cz For those that want to get things manually via http, ftp or rysnc the URLs are now as follows: ftp://mirror.brain.org/linux/mandrake/Mandrake-ppc/8.2-Supplemental/RPMS http://mirror.brain.org/linux/mandrake/Mandrake-ppc/8.2-Supplemental/RPMS rsync://mirror.brain.org::Mandrake-ppc/8.2-Supplemental/RPMS Please don't abuse this site. By that I mean if you plan on installing things on a bunch of machines at once please download one copy to a local machine and install from there. I'm providing this off my own home computer systems and only have a T1 and pay for the bandwidth out of my own pocket. Also please don't have more than one connection open to the box at a time. Also since I posted the original message under another thread I'm going to point out that the ISO's for 8.0/ppc and 8.2/ppc are both mounted under the Mandrake-ppc tree on the same mirror. The URLs for them are as follows: ftp://mirror.brain.org/linux/mandrake/Mandrake-ppc http://mirror.brain.org/linux/mandrake/Mandrake-ppc rsync://mirror.brain.org::Mandrake-ppc Again the above message about abusing the server applies here...
