Yes. For the first: just create an entry in the Mandrake/base/hdlists
file that points to your other RPM repositories, then re-run gendistrib.
For the second: move the RPMS from RPMS2 into RPMS, edit
Mandrake/base/hdlists appropriately (i.e. remove reference to RPMS2) and
re-run gendistrib.
I'm using it to generate installation media that contain a few contrib
RPMS and all the updates to 8.0.
