I was curious of the naming convention for the isos? I have seen two types
of isos, some that have rcX something like Mandrake91-rc2-cd1.i586.iso (this
is just from memory, so there might/will be a typo). Does the rc, stand for
release/revison number? I tried looking for it on google with no results.

The other type of iso's ( from ftp.phys.ttu.edu, for example) have the
filenames as Mandrake91-cd1-inst.i586.iso, Mandrake91-cd2-ext.i586.iso,
Mandrake91-cd3-i18n.i586.iso. I understand these names (CD1 - instalation
CD, CD2 - Extras Modules) but the last one doesn't make sense to me. When
looking at it I just see more rpms (modules).

Also, the ftp sites that do have 9.1 Mandrake don't have a checkum file for
non-rcX 9.1 isos, however they do have one for 9.0. I thought checksum files
should are created the same time isos are.
