And it had nothing to do with the subject, but the fact that it was still quite a conflict-generating post. > > While I was trying to build updated isos i found in misc/doc/download > a line "kernel-source exclude". What ? this can't be true. It is true, the download edition ISOs didn't have space for kernel source. Yes, misc/doc applies *only* to ISO images, not to the mirrors. > I search > trough rpms, rpms2 and rpms3 and it isn't there. http://mandrake.contactel.cz/Mandrake/9.2/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk.i586.rpm > I check on fr2.rpmfind.net and its there.

Riight, read the end of your previous post, really diplomatic in comparison to all the other threads. > I can understand that some packages like powermanga which isn't > important (although very nice game) couldn't be fitted on the first 3 > cds but why wasn't it transferred to contrib. Because contrib isn't main, main isn't contrib. That has nothing to do with the fact that main is over 200MB larger than the space available on 3 CDs. > And what's with the different versions ?

I don't see why I need to read your posts if you continue like this, so don't expect an answer if you stick to your current style (as it doesn't seem you are motivating anyone else to answer your posts either).
