I'm not sure I'm not really interested in KDE3 myself so I haven't been paying attention. However, I seem to recall Stew saying the KDE3 packages in Contrib were built for 8.2 > if the lack of 8.2/ppc/contrib is a problem, when i get my T1 back up next > month i will host the packages there. i think it is pretty sad that > mandrake has to get other people to host their packages. it seems like they > are giving the bare minimum resources to keep this project alive. (but this > is looking from the outside) Actually Mandrake doesn't host any of it's own files for even x86. They have a internal mirror that very few sites have access too. All the other mirrors are just hosting out of the kindness of their hearts. So Mandrake is walking a fine line. If they put too much up for the mirrors to get they may decide not to carry Mandrake anymore at all. And if they put up too little then people like you get the wrong impression. PPC is not a money making project at all. Mandrake is doing this as a contribution to the community. So cut them some slack when it comes to what they do. I may be a bit vocal at times but I'm pretty understanding about not getting a full binary mirror because of these issues. -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org We tend to see all wars through the lens of the current conflict, and we mine history for lessons convenient to the present purpose. - Brian Hayes
