I spent Saturday with trying to make MNF work.
I started a 8.2 based install first as Florin suggested earlier - based on Amaury's 
step-by-step guide.
I was using 8.2 Prosuite Download edition CD-s I downloaded earlier this year. 

1. there was no fwlogwatch in the available packages (I gues that it doesn't matter as 
it comes as a dependency and snf-en gets it also)
2. I picked a 8.2 mirror close to me as urpmi source
3. when I ran urpmi snf-en after a while (running fine for several packages) it told 
me that it cannot find RPMS2 directory
4. I tried to find any mirror with that. The official ones don't have it. I found an 
unofficial from Italy which had 4CD's online 
http://borex.lngs.infn.it/ftp/mandrake/8.2/ I added it to urpmi database with -h.
5. urpmi snf-en still aborted in the middle, saying I should update my urpmi database, 
something was missing.

Please let me know If there is a bulletproof source for installing MNF the 8.2 way, or 
if I failed to do something.
