I don't know if it's intentional, but:
-the hdlists file lists the contrib hdlists (cool!): hdlist.cz Mandrake/RPMS Installation CD hdlist.src.cz ../SRPMS Installation sources hdlist2.cz Mandrake/RPMS2 Contrib CD hdlist2.src.cz ../contrib/SRPMS Contrib sources hdlist3.cz Mandrake/RPMS3 Jpackage.org hdlist3.src.cz ../contrib/jpackage/SRPMS Jpackage.org sources
-the hdlists for contrib (hdlist2.cz and hdlist3.cz, and synthesis versions too of course) are missing from the mirrors (at least on mandrake.redbox.cz and ftp.sunet.se). -The RPMS2 and RPMS3 links are also missing (preventing installation of the packages too I guess).
Apparently this is preventing ftp installs from working right (I can't test this myself ...).
So, if it wasn't intentional, maybe they should be put back?
If it was intentional, it seems counter-productive since I guess MandrakeClub members will want contrib and PLF packages ...
It's in a more sensible location now, right in the rpms directory, at least in this mirror
http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/Mandrake/9.2/contrib/i586/
(no more weird "with ../../../base/hdlist2.cz" magician spells ;-)
Also, the hdlists there just has the first entry
http://ftp.club-internet.fr/pub/linux/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/base/hdlists
(preparing myself to perform an upgrade with urpmi)
