But, the hdlists file was wrong:

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

I see it has subsequently been fixed:

hdlist.cz       Mandrake/RPMS   Installation CD

Pity though, it would have been nice to have Contrib and JPackage
available to users doing FTP installs directly after installation.

The other question is:
1)Has Nanar's page been updated for this
2)I guess --distrib won't pull in contrib and JPackage any more :-(

Buchan
