I'm surprised no-one's replied to this. Olivier, Mandrakesoft couldn't possibly link to PLF in any official way whatsoever, because the whole point of PLF is it has no official links with Mandrakesoft and is not a Mandrakesoft endeavour. This is because it includes stuff - principally dvdcss, but other stuff too - that could potentially get any substantial company involved in distributing it into *extremely* deep shit. So the chances of a PLF link / info during install are somewhere between non-existent and really, really non-existent :). Info on contrib would be a good idea, though. -- adamw
