free is not good enough. Is Acrobat in the distro?

Why don't you look? You can find all the contribs in the cooker ftp mirrors, which I am sure you can find. You may also find the packaging stuff at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/contrib-SPECS, although be warned that some of the packaging there is for packages no longer in contrib (either in main or disappeared). Btw, have you tried any of these yourself? I don't see why people working on the software which many many many people use should spend time working on software which may not be of any use. You will find people much more willing to package software if you can give hints on how good it is, how easy it is to package, what it depends on etc. Of course, then you are half way to making an RPM anyway, so why not make an SRPM and have it put in contrib. No criticism, just an obervation on how best you can get what you want, as I am quite sure you don't want a distro with many non-working or beta-quality games and utilities, but no stable desktop or configuration tools.
