Yep, ftp.sunet seems to be more up to date. However, ftp.sunet.se has a
different and I guess broken directory layout for a fresh NFS install.
The directory layout is something like:
Mandrake-devel/
contrib/
i586/
cooker/
i586/
Mandrake/
RPMS/
RPMS2 -> ../../../../contrib/i586
^^ this no worky with NFS ;-(
The RPMS2 directory isn't going to be reachable when the NFS client does the
install because the client ends up mounting only the portion below
cooker/i586; everything under contrib is unavailable.
Can someone in the know please illuminate us as to which layout is the
correct layout ?
