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...
Hope everyone likes.

Hi Ben,
I threw a glance a t your supplemental rpms. I can't rsync, just ftp on
my machine here. It is not clear to me wether there is only supplemental
stuff there or the original iso content plus the supplemental? (looks like the
second to me, no?). In this case is there a list of the supplemental files
you have added so that we can download only these and not spoil your bandwidth?
Bye and thanX
